Description

2-(Dicyanomethylene)indan-1,3-dione is a zwitterion that can be used as an acceptor in organic synthesis. It reacts with nucleophiles (e.g., amines) to form the corresponding adducts and is reversibly hydrolyzed by water or alkali. 2-(Dicyanomethylene)indan-1,3-dione is also known for its ability to undergo nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl group and react with anilines to form the corresponding azine derivatives. This molecule has been shown to be a good candidate for use in uv irradiation due to its high absorption coefficient at 260 nm.
