Product Name:Ninhydrin hydrate
CAS Number:485-47-2
Molecular formula:C9H6O4
Molecular Weight:178.14

The synthesis of Ninhydrin hydrate is as follows:
A sealed-pressurised reaction vessel (5mL) equipped with a magnetic stirrer was charged with indan-1-one (1equiv), selenium dioxide (3.1equiv) and dioxane/water (3mL/0.3mL). It was then irradiated in a Biotage Initiator Microwave synthesizer 2.0 440W with microwave heating to 180°C with a maximum of 400W for 5min. Then, the vessel was rapidly forced-air cooled to room temperature. The mixture was transferred into a round bottom flask, and the vessel washed with acetone. Silica was added to prepare a solid deposit. The volatile solvents were then evaporated in vacuo before purification by flash chromatography (ethyl acetate/cyclohexane) to afford the corresponding ninhydrin.
