Description
Pseudomonas putida and Rhodococcus spp. oxidize indene to a mixture of cis- and trans-indanols and related metabolites.ApplicationIndene is used to synthesize new C60 derivatives, indene-C60 bisadducts. It is used to prepare polyindene by controlled cationic polymerization initiated by isopropylmethane/TiCl4 in CH2Cl2
