反応手順

To a cooled solution (−70° C.) of LDA (1 M) in THF (37 mL) was added dropwise a solution of 2-methyl-1-indanone (J.A.C.S. Vol. 98, 8119-8124 (1976)) (2.5 g, 17 mmol) in THF (20 mL). The resulting dark red solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, then cooled to −20° C. and a solution for 4-methylthiobenzyl chloride (3.1 g, 18 mmol) in THF (15 mL) was added slowly. The addition completed, the reaction mixture was stirred at −20° C. for 30 minutes before being quenched with 3N aqueous HCl (50 mL) and brine (50 mL). The product was extracted with ether, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to dryness. The oily residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with a 1:5 mixture of ethyl acetate-hexane to afford the pure title compound as an oil.
