Reaction Steps

A mixture of 106 g (0.8 mole) of 4-amino-indane, 4 g of aluminium chloride and 1.6 g of aluminium shot is heated in an autoclave to 300°C. After injection of ethylene at 200 bar, the reaction mixture is maintained for one hour at 300°C. By distillation of the green-black crude product in high vacuum there is obtained 106.9 g of 5-ethyl-4-amino-indane, B.P. 72 to 74°C/0.001 Torr.
