Description

4,5-Dimethoxy-1-indanone is an acidic compound. It is a synthetic intermediate that has been used as a precursor in the synthesis of several natural products with anticancer activity. 4,5-Dimethoxy-1-indanone can be prepared from eugenol by acidolysis and demethylation reactions. The reaction time for this process ranges from 1 to 3 hours at room temperature. The molecule has two hydrogensulfate groups which are responsible for its acidic character. 4,5-Dimethoxy-1-indanone also has anticancer activity, which may be due to its ability to cause cell death through chloride channels. This molecule is not a steroidal compound and does not bind to the androgen receptor or estrogen receptor.
