Description

Indene is an organic compound that can undergo a series of reactions called chain reactions. These reactions are initiated by the addition of a small amount of indene to the reaction solution containing boron nitride or palladium-catalyzed coupling. The carbonyl group in indene reacts with ethylene diamine, which is present in the reaction solution, to produce N-ethylindene and formaldehyde. This reaction is known as a carbonyl addition. The formaldehyde then reacts with boron nitride or palladium-catalyzed coupling to produce N-ethylformaldehyde and formic acid. Formic acid then reacts with ethylene diamine to produce N-ethylformamide and carbon dioxide. In addition, this compound has been shown to be able to bind to the oxytocin receptor and cause cancer cells to die via apoptosis. Indene has also been shown to inhibit the growth of herpes simplex virus strains 1 and 2 in cell culture.
