|  |  | 2-Indanone Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Uses | 2-Indanone is an indanone with an oxo substituent at position 2. It is a metabolite of indane. It has a role as a xenobiotic metabolite. 2-Indanone is an intermediate for the preparation of aprindine hydrochloride and ceforanide. It is an important intermediate in organic synthesis. |  | Preparation | 2-Indanone is prepared by using acetic acid as solvent, acetic anhydride as catalyst and through hydrogen peroxide oxidation into 1, 2-indenediol, which reacted with dilute sulfuric acid solution in order to obtain crude 2-indanone. Finally, vacuum sublimation to obtain 2-indanone with high-purity, the total yield is 89%. |  | Chemical Properties | Wet crystalline aggregates |  | Uses | 2-Indanone undergoes TiCl4-Mg mediated coupling with CHBr3 to yield dibromomethyl carbinol. It reacts with 5,5-dimethyl-3-pyrazolidinone to yield 5,5-dimethyl-2-(1H-indenyl-2)-3-pyrazolidinone. On photolysis by 266-nm one-photon excitation yields o-xylylene. It was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of indene-fused porphyrins. |  | Definition | ChEBI: An indanone with an oxo substituent at position 2.
