Chemistry:Indane

From HandWiki

Indane or indan is an organic compound with the formula C9H10. It is a colorless liquid hydrocarbon. It is a petrochemical, a bicyclic compound. It occurs at the level of about 0.1% in coal tar. Many modified indanes are known.

Production of indane skeleton

Indane itself is usually produced by hydrogenation of indene.[1] More complex indanes are produced by cyclization of phenylpropionic acid and related compounds under Friedel-Crafts reaction conditions. Such routes afford 1-indanone, which can be reduced to indanol or the indane. 2-Bromoaryl derivatives with unsaturated substituents undergo Heck reactions (palladium-catalyzed) involving formal loss of HBr and cyclization to indanes and indenes.[2] Enantioselective routes to chiral indanes and indenes are also available.[3] Routes to the hydroindanes are also relevant.[4]

Derivatives

Derivatives include 1- and 2-methylindanes (where a methyl group is attached to the five carbon ring) as well as 4- and 5-methylindanes (where a methyl group is attached to the benzene ring). Various dimethylindanes are known. 1,1,3,3-Tetramethylindane is produced commercially.[5]

Many indanes can be prepared by reactions of indane with electrophiles, which attack the 5-position (on the benzene ring). For example, sulfonation gives indane-5-sulfonic acid. Base hydrolysis of which gives 5-indanol.[6]

A family of indane derivatives are empathogen-entactogens. They are very close derivatives of other empathogen-entactogens such as MDMA and MDA. Examples include MDAI and MDMAI.[7] Other derivatives include 2-aminoindane, NM-2-AI and the 5-iodo derivative 5-IAI.

Indane can be used to prepare 5-propionylindane [63998-49-2].[8] Nitration of indane gives 4-nitroindane. Reduction of the nitro group then gives 4-aminoindane.[9] This compound finds use in the synthesis of an agent that is called Indanazoline [40507-78-6].[10][11] Another compound that is made from indane proper is called Sulofenur (LY181984) [110311-27-8].[12][13] Glyhexamide [451-71-8] is another example of such a compound prepared from indane starting material. Glidazamide [3074-35-9] is a further example of sulfonyl urea prepared from indaneGlyhexamide and glidazamide are typical sulfonylurea antidiabetics (hypoglycemics), whereas Sulofenur has anticarcinogenic properties.

Hydrogenation of indane gives the saturated derivative hydrindane.[14]
