METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUBSTITUTED INDANONE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for economical production of a substituted indanone which is an intermediate of a substituted indene useful in the medical field, culture plant protection field, etc. SOLUTION: Examples of the substituted indanone are 2-methyl-7-phenyl-1-indanone and 2-naphthyl-7-(1-naphthyl)-1-indanone. The objective substituted indene can be produced by the reduction of the ring-forming carbonyl group of the substituted indanone and the dehydration of the product. The compound can be further converted to a metallocene compound through silylation and complexing with a zirconia compound. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
