Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 168 mmol of lithium aluminium hydride in 300 ml of tetrahydrofuran is cooled to 0-5° C. 80.0 mmol of 1-amino-5-methoxyindane-1-carboxylic acid are added in portions, and the reaction mixture is then heated to reflux for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and quenched with 7.8 ml of water, 36.2 ml of 1M sodium hydroxide solution and a further 21.0 ml of water. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then filtered through Hyflo. The filtrate is evaporated. The title compound is obtained as a beige solid which is employed without further purification for the next stage. Rt=2.36 (gradient III).
