Procedure

A round bottomed flask was flushed with argon and then charged with Pd(OH)2 (316 mg, 10 wt %). The flask was evacuated and back-filled with argon, and then EtOH (5 mL) was added to the catalyst. Ethyl(2E)-(4-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)ethanoate (Example 8, 3.2 g, 13.6 mmol) was added as a solution in EtOH (63 mL). Ammonium formate (4.3 g, 68 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was heated to 65° C. After 2 h, the reaction mixture was cooled and filtered through a pad of Celite®, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The reaction mixture was used without further purification according to the method outlined in Example 6 to give the title compound (2.3 g, 78%) as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.14 (t, 1H), 6.76 (d, 1H), 6.67 (d, 1H), 4.91 (br s, 1H), 4.19 (q, 2H), 3.60 (m, 1H), 2.85-2.88 (m, 1H), 2.76-2.80 (m, 2H), 2.19-2.26 (m, 2H), 1.76-1.82 (m, 1H), 1.26 (t, 3H); GC-MS m/z [M+H]+ 221.
