실험 절차

To a solution of 116 g (0.52 mol) of 4-bromo-3-methylindan-1-one in 950 ml of a mixture of THF-methanol (2:1, vol.) 38.3 g (1.02 mol) of NaBH4 was added in small portions, while vigorously stirring, over 2 h at 0° C. This mixture was stirred for 12 h at room temperature and then added to 1000 ml of cold water. The organic layer was separated, the aqueous layer was extracted with 3×300 ml of methyl-tert-butyl ether. The combined organic fractions were dried over K2CO3 and then evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in 1500 ml of toluene, and 2.0 g of p-TosOH was added. The resulting solution was refluxed for 2 h using a Dean-Stark trap to remove the water formed, and then it was passed through a short Silica Gel 60 column (40-63 um, d 100 mm, l 80 mm, eluent: hexanes). This column was additionally washed with 250 ml of toluene. The combined organic extract was evaporated to dryness. The product was isolated by vacuum distillation (bp 104-108° C./5 mm Hg). Yield 100 g (93%).
