Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 6-bromo-1-indanone (25 g, 0.12 mol) in dioxane (150 mL) was added Triton B (2.48 mL, 6.3 mmol) and hydroquinone (5 mg, 0.05 mmol). After stirring the mixture for 10 min at 50° C. methylacrylate (21.5 mL, 0.24 mol) in 50 mL dioxane was added. The mixture was stirred for 4 h at 50° C. and 14 h at RT. Then 2 mL methylacrylate was added and the reaction was stirred for 1 h at 50° C. The reaction mixture was poured onto water, extracted with EA and the solvents were evaporated. The residue was purified by MPLC (340 g silicagel, gradient:CH/EA 100:0 to 50:50) to give 3-[6-Bromo-2-(2-methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-1-oxo-indan-2-yl]-propionic acid methyl ester (38 g, 84%).
