Reaction Steps

1-(1H-inden-3-yl)piperidine (3.00 g, 15.1 mmol) was dissolved in 75 mL of hexane and 7.1 mL of 2.5 M n-BuLi (1.09 eq) was added dropwise via syringe over a 5 minute period. The solution developed a yellow precipitate upon the addition of the first 0.5 mL of n-BuLi. The resulting slurry was allowed to stir 24 hours. After this time the solid was filtered, washed with 50 mL of hexane and allowed to dry in vacuo overnight to afford the desired anion as a yellow solid (2.96 g, 14.3 mmol) in 95 percent yield.
