A tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) solution of 2-indanone (11.0 g, 92 mmol), propyl amine (12 mL, 146 mmol), sodium triacetoxy borohydride (35.0 g, 165 mmol), and acetic acid (5 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The solution was then heated at reflux temperature for 2 hours. After cooling, the solvent was evaporated and the residue taken up in concentrated hydrochloric acid (40 mL). The acidic solution was washed with diethyl ether and then basified (10M sodium hydroxide). Extraction of the aqueous layer with ether, drying over anhydrous sodium carbonate and removal of the solvent yielded 10.9 g of the title compound as a yellow oil (75%).:
