Abstract

Abstract 5-Chloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-1-indanone 1 is an important intermediate for the synthesis of arthropodicidal oxadiazines indoxacarb. Here a convenient and environmentally friendly method with higher yield and low cost compared to existing method was developed. This method could be useful in manufacturing of indoxacarb, lowering the costs and avoiding excessive pollution.
