Reaktionsschritte

Into a solution of 10 g of 4-methyl-7-hydroxy-1-indanone and 5.3 g of potassium hydroxide in 200 ml of methanol was added 8.2 ml of crotyl bromide, and the mixture was refluxed by heating for 4 hours. The insoluble matters in the reaction mixture were removed by filtration, then the solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue obtained was extracted with chloroform-water, and the chloroform layer was washed with a diluted sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, then washed with water, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue obtained was purified by means of a silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane: dichloromethane=1:1) to obtain 8.72 g of 4-methyl-7-crotyloxy-1-indanone.
