Procedure

Potassium tert-butoxide (1.68 g., 0.015 mole) in dry tert-butyl alcohol (40 ml.) is added to a refluxing solution of 2-methyl-5-methoxy-6,7-dichloro-1-indanone in benzene (50 ml.). After refluxing for 30 minutes, benzyl bromide (1.72 g., 0.01 mole) in benzene (10 ml.) is added dropwise. After refluxing for an additional 30 minutes the mixture is cooled, water (10 ml.) is added and the mixture is evaporated to dryness. The residue is washed with water and taken up in ether. The ether solution is washed with water and a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over solium sulfate and evaporated. The syrupy residue is 2-benzyl-2-methyl-5-methoxy-6,7-dichloro-1-indanone (3 g.) is used directly in the next step without purification.
