Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl formate (15.75 mL, 0.195 mol) and NaH (60%, 7.80 g, 0.195 mol) in benzene (550 mL) was added a suspension of 6-methoxy-indan-1-one (15.81 g, 0.0974 mol) in benzene (150 mL) dropwise at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and treated with water. The solid was filtered, washed with water, and oven dried to give the desired product (16.86 g, 91%). The product may exist in sodium salt form, however, it was carried into the next reaction without further characterization.
