The mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and washed with chloroform. The organic phase was washed with water (5×) until the pH was neutral, followed with a wash with brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-100% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide methyl 5-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1h-indene-2-carboxylate (696) (46%).
