Reaction Steps

Similarly, 5-amino-2-methylindene was prepared from the reductive cyclization of 3-(m-nitrophenyl)-2-methylpropionaldehyde with zinc and hydrochloric acid at elevated temperatures. Miller W. v. and Kinkelin G. Ber. 1886, 19, 1249 and 1520; Miller, W. v. and Rohde, G. ibid 1889, 22, 1830-1843. The difunctional 3-carboxy-4-phenyl-2-butanone reacted with excess sulfuric acid to give an unspecified yield of 1-methyl-2-carboxyindene. Roser, W. Ber. 1887, 20, 1574-1576.
