A solution of 3.1 g (16.3 mmol) 1,1-dimethyl-5-hydroxyindan-6-carboxaldehyde and 3.1 g (17.4 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide in 50 ml of methylene chloride was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 days. Water (50 ml) was added. The organic phase was dried and evaporated. The residue was filtered through silica gel (20 g) using a gradient from hexane to 2:98 (v/v) ether:hexane as eluent. There was obtained 4.0 g (14.8 mmol, 91%) of 4-bromo-1,1-dimethyl-5-hydroxyindan-6-carboxaldehyde as yellow crystals after crystallization from ethanol; mp 77.5°-78.5° C.
