ethyl 3-amino-1H-indene-2-carboxylate; CAS No.: 195067-13-1;ethyl 3-amino-1H-indene-2-carboxylate. PROPERTIES: Ethyl 3-amino-1H-indene-2-carboxylate is a substituted indene derivative with a molecular weight of 207.24 g/mol. This white crystalline solid has a melting point between 95-98 C. The molecule features an indene ring system with an amino group at position 3 and a carboxylate ester at position 2. It demonstrates moderate solubility in common organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and methanol but limited water solubility. Proper storage involves keeping in tightly sealed containers at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Safety considerations include the amine group's basicity and the ester group's flammability. Standard laboratory safety protocols should be observed. APPLICATIONS: This compound primarily functions as a synthetic intermediate in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, where the indene scaffold provides structural diversity for receptor interactions. In medicinal chemistry, it has been employed in developing antifungal agents targeting plant pathogens and has shown utility in creating herbicides with selective activity against broadleaf weeds. The indene-2-carboxylate ester structure has also been explored in materials science for developing organic semiconductors, leveraging the extended conjugation to enhance charge carrier mobility. These applications are documented in publications from the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry and Advanced Materials.
