Procedure

5-Aminoindan (3.0 g, 22.5 mmol) was dissolved in 10 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide. A solution of N-bromosuccinimide (4.0 g, 22.5 mmol) in 10 ml anhydrous dimethylformamide was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, and the separated organic layer washed twice with H2O, then with brine. Drying over Na2SO4 followed by filtration and evaporation of solvent gave a dark brown oil as the crude product. Purification by flash chromatography (50% EtOAc/hexane) provided 5-amino-6-bromoindan (3.26 g, 68% yield), a compound of Formula 2 where X is bromo, as a brown oil which crystallized into a brown solid.
