Abstract

Indandione is an important starting material that has drawn great attention in various organic transformations because of its attributes, such as low cost, easy to handle and eco-friendliness generally affording the corresponding products in excellent yields. In this review, we summarize recent data describing the most important MCRs reactions in which one of the starting materials is indandione. This review will also present two-, three-, four-, and five-component and one-pot reactions for the functionalization of indandione with the to increase awareness on the versatility of using this compound among organic chemists.
