Procedure

Analogously to Example D, 8.3 g (41 mmol) of 2-methyl-5-isobutyl-1-indanone (7) were reduced with 2.4 g (62 mmol) of NaBH4. The alcohol, which was not purified further, was then further reacted in the presence of 0.4 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid in 100 ml of toluene at 80° C. Chromatography on 400 g of silica gel (hexane) gave 7.17 g (95%) of 2-methyl-6-insobutylindene (8).
