General description
2-Methyl-1-indanone, a α-benzocycloalkenone, is a derivative of 1-indanone. Its synthesis has been reported. The enzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of racemic 2-methyl-1-indanone has been studied. The asymmetric α-arylation and hydroxymethylation of 2-methyl-1-indanone has been reported. It participated in the synthesis of 2-methyl-6-carboxyazulene.
Application
2-Methyl-1-indanone may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of β-benzocycloalkenone. It may be used in the synthesis of the following:
- cyclohex-2-en-1-yl 2-methyl-1H-inden-3-yl carbonate
- 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-indanone
- O-alkoxycarbonylation of lithium enolates

Deracemisation of racemic compounds is still the most important strategy to produce optically pure compounds despite many recent advances in asymmetric synthesis. Especially deracemisation approaches that give rise to single enantiomers are preferred, which can be achieved either by invoking

Enzymes exhibit overwhelmingly superior catalysis compared with artificial catalysts. Current strategies to rival enzymatic catalysis require unmodified or minimally modified structures of active sites, gigantic molecular weight, and sometimes the use of harsh conditions such as extremely low temperatures in

The conversion of alpha-benzocycloalkenones to homologous beta-benzocyclo-alkenones containing six, seven and eight-membered rings is reported. This was accomplished via a Wittig olefination-oxidative rearrangement sequence using[hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]-benzene (HTIB) is the oxidant, that enables the synthesis of regioisomeric pairs of methyl-substituted beta-benzocycloalkenones.
