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.
