To a solution of 3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylic acid (3 g, 17 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) and MeOH (10 mL) was added TMSCHN2 (17 mL, 34 mmol) dropwise and the mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using a gradient solvent system of 10:1 to 3:1 petroleum ether/EtOAc to give methyl 3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylate (2.0 g, 61%). MS ESI calcd for C11H10O3 [M+H]+ 191, found 191.
