Reaction Steps

3-(dimethylamino)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-1H-benz(f)indene (2.11 g, 7.46 mmol) was stirred in hexane (75 mL) as n-BuLi (4.10 mL of 2.0 M solution in hexane, 8.20 mmol) was added slowly. This mixture was allowed to stir overnight during which time a pale yellow precipitate formed. After the reaction period the desired product was collected via filtration, washed with hexane, and dried under vacuum resulting in the isolation of a pale yellow solid which was used without further purification or analysis (2.00 g, 93 percent yield).
