white to slightly yellow crystalline solid
1-Indanol derivative was found to be an efficient ligand for the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric Heck reaction. It is used as pharmaceutical intermediate.
ChEBI: Indan-1-ol is a member of indanes, an aromatic alcohol and a secondary alcohol. It has a role as a xenobiotic. It derives from a hydride of an indane.
Chiral-sensitive aggregation of 1-indanol has been studied by FTIR spectroscopy. Transfer dehydrogenation of 1-indanol has been investigated over heterogeneous palladium catalyst using cyclohexene as hydrogen acceptor.
