After stirring for 40 minutes at 0° C., 0.4 mL of H2O was added to quench the reaction. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and MgSO4 was added with stirring. The reaction mixture was then filtered and concentrated in vacuo to a clear oil. 2-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)ethanol was isolated without further purification.
