1H-Indene, 97%

Description

CAS: 95-13-6 | C9H8 | 116.163 g/mol

1H-Indene is used in the synthesis of new C60 derivative, indene-C60 bisadduct1. It was used in preparing polyindene by the controlled cationic polymerization initiated with cumyl methyl ether/TiCl4 in CH2Cl2. It is also used in the synthesis of istatins and in the production of indene/cumarone thermoplastic resins.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
