Reaction Steps

Bromine (4.4 ml, 86 mmol) was added at 0° C. to a mixture of 6-tert-butyl-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1-indanone (20 g, 86 mmol), NaOAc (20.4 g) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.5 g) in CH2Cl2 (50 ml) and H2O (150 ml). After 16 h, 2.5 ml of Br2 and 12 g of NaOAc were added. After 24 h of stirring, the organic phase was separated, washed with water, 10% aq. Na2SO3, aq. NaHCO3, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The residue was used without purification.
