1-Indanone can be used to synthesize: 11H-Indeno-[1,2-b]-quinolin-10-ylamine, a potential acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease. CoumBARAC (coumarin fused biarylazacyclooctynone) for fluorogenic real-time imaging of azide-labeled biomolecules. Light emitting, organic semiconductors such as 4-pyrenyl-2-piperidin-1-yl-9H-fluorene-1-carbonitrile and bisindenoanthrazolines for organic light emitting diode (OLED) applications.
