Procedure

To a stirred solution of 1,3-dibromopropane (175 ml.) and ethanol (250 mm.) is added dropwise a solution of 1-ethoxy-carbonyl-2-indanone (51 g.) and sodium hydroxide (10 g.) in 500 ml. of ethanol and 200 ml. of water. The solution is refluxed for 5 hours and cooled. The bottom layer is separated and the upper layer is diluted with water and extracted with two 100 ml. portions of carbon tetrachloride. The combined lower layers were washed with 5 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide and water then concentrated and distilled to give, after a small forecut, the title product (40.3 g.) with b.p. 155°-165° at 0.5 mm.
