Description
6-Fluoro-2-methylindan-1-one (CAS No. 37794-19-7) is a high-purity fluorinated indanone derivative with the molecular formula C10H9FO. This specialized organic compound is widely utilized in pharmaceutical research, agrochemical development, and material science due to its unique structural properties. The presence of both a fluorine substituent and a methyl group on the indanone scaffold enhances its reactivity and selectivity, making it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing bioactive molecules. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ≥98% purity (HPLC/GC) and is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder with excellent batch-to-batch consistency. Suitable for use in cross-coupling reactions, asymmetric synthesis, and as a building block for heterocyclic compounds. Available in research quantities (100mg to 10kg) with optional custom packaging and stability data upon request.
