(1S,2R)-(-)-cis-1-Amino-2-indanol is used as a reagent in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds as integrase inhibiting antiviral agents. It is also a key intermediate of the HIV protease inhibitor, Indinavir (I525000).

1S,2R)-(-)-cis-1-Amino-2-indanol may be used to prepare:

• (-)-1,2,5,6-Tetrahydropyridine by reacting with methyl (E,E)-4-oxo-2-[(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl)vinyl}but-2-enoate.
• Oxazaborolidine catalysts, which can catalyze the asymmetric reduction of aromatic ketones with high enantioselectivity.
• (R_S,1S,2R)-(-)-2,4,6-Trimethylbenzenesulfinic acid 1-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonylamino)indan-2-yl ester.

(1S,2R)-(-)-cis-1-Amino-2-indanol is a main constituent of indinavir, a potent HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) protease inhibitor.
