Description

2-Methylindan-1-one is a chiral ligand that reacts with an aryl chloride to form a carbon-carbon bond. It can be protonated by an alkali metal or aminated by an alkyl halide to form the corresponding carbonyl compound. 2-Methylindan-1-one has been shown to bind to the odorant receptor of insects, which may account for its nature as an insect pheromone. This compound also exhibits resonance mass spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy properties in the presence of lithium metal and alkali metals.
2-Methylindan-1-one is found in allyl carbonate, which is produced by plants when they are attacked by herbivores such as aphids or leafhoppers, and also in certain types of honey.
