Temperature: 100 °C

Procedure

A mixture of 5-hydroxy-indan-1-one (5.3 g, 35.7 mmol), KJ (0.6 g, 3.6 mmol) and K2CO3 (6.17 g, 44.6 mmol) and benzyl bromide (4.66 ml, 39.3 mmol) in DMF (50 ml) were heated at 100° C. for 1 hr. Addition of H2O (150 ml) and extraction with EtOAc (3×50 ml), washing the organic phase with satd. NaCl solution (100 ml) and drying with MgSO4 and evaporation afforded a brown solid. This material was recrystallised twice from EtOH to afford 5-benzyloxy-indan-1-one (6 g, 25.17 mmol, 70%) as yellow crystals, Mp. 105-106° C., MS m/e=238.1 (M+).
