General description

4-Methyl-1-indanone on condensation with 2-lithio-N,N-diethyl-1-napthamide and 2-lithio-N,N-diethyl-8-methoxy-1-napthamide, followed by hydrolysis afforded 2-(1-hydroxy-4-methylindan-1-yl)-1-naphthoic acid lactone and 2-(1-hydroxy-4-methylindan-1-yl)-8-methoxy-1-naphthoic acid lactone respectively.

Application

4-Methyl-1-indanone may be used for the following syntheses:
  • 3,6-dimethylcholanthrene
  • 3,6-dimethyl-7-methoxycholanthrene
  • 3-methyl-7-methoxycholanthrene

An improved synthetic route has been developed for the preparation of methyl 1-fluoroindan-1-carboxylate (FICA Me ester) from 1-indanone. Methyl 4-methyl-1-fluoroindan-1-carboxylate (4-Me-FICA Me ester) was also prepared following the same procedure.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
