Reaction Steps

To a high-pressure flask, add 10% palladium on carbon (1.44 g) in ethanol (100 mL). Add a solution of benzyl-(6-fluoroindan-1-yl)-amine (14.44 g, 59.84 mmol) in ethanol (200 mL). Purge the chamber with nitrogen three times, and then with hydrogen three times. Stir vigorously under hydrogen (60 psi) at 50° C. for two hours. Filter the mixture through Celite® 521 and wash the solids with methanol. Concentrate the filtrate in vacuo to give the title compound as a light brown liquid (9.14 g, 100%). MS (ES) m/z=152 [M+1].
