Procedure

The trans amide can be made from the epoxide either (1) by treating the indene oxide with ammonia or a primary amine to produce a trans-1-amino-2-indanol and reacting the trans-1-amino-2-indanol with an acylating agent, or (2) by treating the epoxide with an amide anion to produce the trans hydroxy amide directly. In one embodiment the indene is oxidized with aqueous hypochlorite in the presence of a chiral salen catalyst to produce a partially resolved epoxide, which is converted to the partially resolved trans-1-amino-2-indanol by treating with ammonia or a primary amine followed by acylating with benzoyl chloride or acetic anhydride. The resulting benzamide or acetamide is recrystallized to yield substantially optically pure trans-1-benzamido-2-indanol or trans-1-acetamido-2-indanol. In two preferred embodiments, the cis-1-amino-2-indanols are (1S,2R)-1-amino-2-indanol and (1R,2S)-1-amino-2-indanol, produced by oxidation of indene in the presence of an R,R or S,S-salen catalyst respectively.
