Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-t-butyl-phenyl)-2-indanol (23.0 g, 86.5 mmol) in THF (200 mL) was added a solution of concentrated hydrochloric acid (40 mL) in water (60 mL). The solid was collected and washed with pentane (50 mL) and then tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) to give 13.6 g of 2-(4-t-butyl-phenyl)-1H-indene. 1H-N.M.R. (CDCl3) d 1.35 (s, 9H), d 3.78(br s, 2H), d 7.13-7.19(m, 2H),d 7.26 (br tt, J=7.4, 0.6 Hz, 1H), d 7.36-7.47(m, 4H), d 7.55-7.6(br d, J=6.7 Hz, 2H).
