Versuchsvorschrift
A solution of 24.64 (0.166 mol) of 1-hydroxy-1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene and 0.30 g of p-toluenesulphonic acid monohydrate in 300 ml of toluene was heated to reflux for 3 h with water being collected by means of a Dean Stark trap. The reaction mixture was cooled, washed with water (3×100 ml), then with saturated sodium chloride solution (100 ml), dried (K2CO3) and evaporated in vacuo to leave an orange oil. This was vacuum distilled to yield 14.57 g (67%) of the title product as a colourless oil, b.p. 32°-35° C./0.3 mm of Hg. NMR δ(CDCl3) 2.17 (3H, m), 3.31 (2H, m), 6.20 (1H, m), 7.16-7.35 (3H, m), 7.45 (1H, m).
