Reaction Steps

3.0 g of 4-bromo-1-indanol (RS) in 30 ml of pyridine is cooled to 0° C., 2 ml of acetic anhydride is introduced slowly with agitation for 17 hours at ambient temperature. It is then poured into 100 ml of water and 100 ml of isopropyl ether and decanted; the organic phase is washed with water, dried and concentrated to dryness. The residue is taken up in 1,2-dichloro ethane in order to eliminate the pyridine by azeotropy. 3.9 g of expected product is obtained.
