Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A dimethylsulfoxide (8 mL) solution containing sodium hydride (60%, 0.14 g, 3.5 mmol) was heated at 75° C. for ca. 45 minutes. The solution was cooled to room temperature and diluted with THF (8 mL). The solution was cooled to 0° C. and trimethylsulfonium iodide (0.7 g, 3.4 mmol) was added in portions. After 15 minutes a THF solution of 6-methoxyindan-1-one (0.5 g, 3.1 mmol) was added. The solution was then stirred at room temperature for 4 days. The solution was diluted with water and ethyl ether. The organic phase was washed with water (3×) and brine. The solution was then dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using a hexanes/ethyl acetate gradient to give the title compound. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 9.68 (d, J=2.9 Hz, 1H); 7.29 (s, 1H); 7.21 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H); 6.86-6.82 (m, 1H); 3.95-3.93 (m, 1H); 3.82 (s, 3H); 3.03-2.93 (m, 2H); 2.48-2.44 (m, 1H); 2.41-2.37 (m, 1H).
