Uses
4-Methoxy-1-indanone is suitable for use in the comparative study of the effect of different substituents on various benzo-fused ketones on the reaction kinetics by studying the biocatalysed oxidation reaction.
It may be used in the following studies:
- Synthesis of isomeric mixture of oximes.
- As a starting material in the synthesis of benzo-fused indolizidine and 4-methoxy-1-indanyl compound.
- Synthesis of 4-methoxy-5-nitro-1-indanone by nitration reaction.
- As one of the reactant in the synthesis of E-2-chloro-8-methyl-3-[(4′-methoxy-1′-indanoyl)-2′-methyliden]-quinoline (IQ), a quinoline derivative.
