Abstract
A new method for synthesis of 2-indanamine (I) was found to give I in a comparatively good yield by derivation. As a new method for the synthesis of 2-indanamine, 2-nitroindene (V) was found to be obtained in a comparatively good yield by acetylation of indene nitrosite (II) to 1-acetoxy-2-nitroindane (IV) and its hydrolysis. Examination was made on the method reported by Denstedt and others, and it was assumed that the β-compound of indene nitrosite reported by him might be 2-nitro-1-indanone oxime (III).
