Indan-2-ol is widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and chiral auxiliaries. It serves as a precursor for fragrances and flavoring agents due to its bicyclic structure. Researchers utilize it in asymmetric synthesis and as a building block for indane-based ligands in catalysis. Its stability and reactivity make it suitable for organic transformations such as oxidation and esterification.
