1-Indanone(Cat No.:R058205)is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C9H8O, consisting of a fused benzene and cyclopentanone ring structure. As a key intermediate in organic synthesis, it plays a significant role in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Its ketone functionality and rigid bicyclic framework make it suitable for diverse chemical transformations, including condensation, reduction, and cycloaddition reactions. 1-Indanone is also used in the synthesis of biologically active molecules such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and central nervous system agents. It appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid.
