Reaction Steps

To a 100 ml reaction tube equipped with a stirrer bar, Suba.Seal™ stopper, and a nitrogen balloon, was added pyrrolidine (1.3 ml) and pentane (8 ml). Titanium tetrachloride (0.2 ml) was added slowly to each tube. 2-Indanone (0.2 g, 1.33 mmol) was added as a solid and the reaction stirred vigorously for 2 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and the solvent removed in vacuo to give the title compound as a dark solid. m/z (ES+) 186 (M+H)+.
