Reaction Steps

8.77 g (0.23 mol) of lithium aluminum hydride was suspended in 400 ml of tetrahydrofuran, to which was added a suspension of 100 ml tetrahydrofuran containing 27.8 g (0.160 mol) of (indan-2-yl)acetamide under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, then refluxed for 5 hours. Under ice-cooling, 9 ml of water, 9 ml of 15% sodium hydroxide and 26 ml water were added thereto dropwise in this order for decomposing the excessive reagent and separating the solid matter. The filtrate was condensed to obtain 26.1 g of an oily material. Yield: 100%
