Reaction Steps

5,6-dimethoxy-3-phenyl-1H-indene (1.26 g, 4.99 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of 15 mL of toluene and 25 mL of hexane and 3.06 mL of 1.6 M n-BuLi were added dropwise via syringe over a 3 min period. The solution developed a yellow-light green precipitate during addition of n-BuLi. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h and then filtered, washed with 60 mL of hexane and dried in vacuum to afford the desired product as a yellow solid (1.24 g) in 98 percent yield.
