1-Methylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-4-ol → 1-Methylindan-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-methylene-indan-4-ol (200 mg, 1.37 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (60 mg, 10% weight) in methanol (6 ml) was hydrogenated under 50 psi hydrogen atmosphere for 1 hour. The mixture was dissolved in EtOAc, filtered through a celite pad. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and dried to give 1-methyl-indan-4-ol (190 g, 94%)
