Procedure

Then, 1.1 g (28 mmol) of sodium borohydride were added to a solution of 1.9 g (9.2 mmol) of 5,6-dimethoxy-3,3-dimethylindan-1-one in methanol (30 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes at room temperature. After methanol was removed from the reaction mixture by concentration under reduced pressure, water was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. An organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. Added to a solution of the resultant residue in toluene (50 ml) was 90 mg (0.47 mmol) of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate, and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at 120° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resultant crude oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to obtain 264 mg (yield: 15%) of 5,6-dimethoxy-1,1-dimethylindene as a colorless oil.
