A simple, specific and reliable 1H-NMR spectroscopic method for the quantitative determination of the optical purity of indacrinone is described. After conversion of the S(+)- and R(-)-enantiomers to their methyl ester derivatives, they were coordinated with chiral europium(III) or praseodymium(III) shift reagents in CCl4/C2HCl3 (2:1). The optical purity was calculated from the relative intensities of the enantiomeric resonance signals for the protons of the methyl groups at position C(2) of the indanone ring. Mean +/- SD (n = 6) recoveries of S(+)-indacrinone from synthetic enantiomeric mixtures amounted to 99.75 +/- 0.63% when using europium(III) and 100.01 +/- 0.55% when using praseodymium(III).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007189	Indans	Aryl CYCLOPENTANES that are a reduced (protonated) form of INDENES.	Indanones
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
