Reaction Steps

175 g (0.662 mol) of the resulted 5,7-dinitro-1,1,4,6-tetramethylindan was dissolved in 500 g of methanol, 17.5 g (50% water content) of 5%-Pd/C was added, then, the mixture was stirred for 84 hours at 50 to 60° C. under a hydrogen atmosphere. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was filtrated and filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulted residue was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 5,7-diamino-1,1,4,6-tetramethyl-indan as a pale yellow crystal. The yielded amount was 124 g (yield: 92.1%), the melting point was 77 to 78.5° C., and the boiling point was 148 to 150° C. (339 Pa).
