Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1 L of toluene was added 14 g (0.058 mol) of 4-methoxy-1-phenyl-indan-1-ol and 100 mg of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate and the solvent was distilled in vacuo (40 mm) until an oily residue was obtained. The oil was chromatographed (silica, 1:1 hexane/methylene chloride followed by ether) to afford 8.6 g (60.2 %) of 1-phenyl-4-methoxy-indene as a pale red oil.
