Reaktionsschritte

To a 300-ml four-necked round flask (equipped with stirrer chip, dropping funnel and thermometer) were introduced 9.78 g (41.3 mmol) of the 2-ethyl-1-hydroxy-4-phenylindan obtained above, 17.2 ml (123.8 mmol) of triethylamine, 0.25 g (2.1 mmol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 98 ml of methylene chloride. In a nitrogen atmosphere under ice cooling, to the flask was dropwise added slowly a solution obtained by dissolving 6.4 ml (82.5 mmol) of methanesulfonyl chloride in 6.5 ml of methylene chloride. After the dropping was completed, the reaction was further performed for 3.5 hours. After the reaction mixture was poured into 250 ml of ice water, the organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted twice with 50 ml of methylene chloride, followed by mixing the organic phases together. The whole organic phase was washed with a saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution and then washed with a saturated saline solution, followed by drying with anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was separated and purified by silica gel chromatography (developed with hexane) to obtain 6.56 g of the aimed product (mixture of two kinds of isomers) as a light yellow liquid (yield: 73%) The properties of the product thus obtained are described below.
