Participants

Reaction Steps

To a hot (110° C.) solution of 6.28 g (21.13 mmol) of 4-(2-bromoethyl)-1-methoxy-2,5,6-trimethylindane in 75 ml of toluene 0.4 g of TsOH*H2O was added. This mixture was refluxed with Dean-Stark trap for 10 min and then passed through the layer of Silica Gel 60 (40-63 um, d 80 mm, l 50 mm). The Silica Gel layer was additionally washed by 300 ml of toluene. The combined organic extract was evaporated to dryness. The product was isolated by flash chromatography using a short column with Silica Gel 60 (40-63 um, d 80 mm, l 50 mm; eluent: hexanes). Yield 5.38 g (96%) of 4-(2-bromoethyl)-2,5,6-trimethyl-1H-indene.
