After the addition was complete 2-cyanoindane (11.33 g, 79.5 mmol), (J. Chem. Soc. (B), (1969), 1197) was added dropwise with stirring over 30 minutes maintaining the reaction temperature between -5° and 0° C. The mixture was stirred for a further 15 minutes then poured onto ice. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (4×150 ml) and the extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (3×150 ml), dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallised from ethanol to give 2-cyano-5-nitroindane (12.09 g, 81%) as a yellow solid, m.p. 80°-82° C.
