Application
2-Indanone serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its carbonyl group enables facile conversion to indenes, indoles, and other fused-ring systems via condensation or reduction reactions. Researchers also employ it in catalytic studies and as a building block for optoelectronic materials.
