Was searching a procedure to make indene (for IAP synth)...damn naïve one:)

Well i guess it`s impossible to prepare it at...mmm...home:)
Unless you,beez, know smth better?

P.S. Acquiring is near to impossible:(

The compound you actually want is indane, and not indene. I suggest you make phenylpropanoic acid (friedel-craft alkylation with 3-chloropropionic ester followed by hydrolysis, or make the cinnamic acid and reduce it), convert it to the acid chloride and cyclize to 1-indanone via friedel-craft acylation, and finally reduce the ketone with Zn/Hg or Hydrazine/KOH.

You will find details and inspiration in

Indene is a very cheap unwatched industrial chemical, you should be able to find it if you look around.

It may be that industry of my beloved country doesnt produce such compound,but who knows,if you could tell me what it is used for?

That I amnot sure of, I suggest that you search the patent literature
