(R)-MeCBS catalyst (0.22 ml, 1 M, 0.22 mmol) was mixed in 5 ml of dry THF, and stirred for 1 h at room temperature. After cooling to 0° C., 2.5 ml of 2 M BH3:Me2S (4.99 mmol) in THF were added. 5-Methyl-3-phenyl-inden-1-one (1.00 g, 4.54 mmol) was added as a solution in toulene (2 ml) over 2 h via a syringe pump. The reaction was followed by TLC. After completeness, methanol (0.6 ml, 17 mmol) was added at 0° C. and the mixture was evaporated to dryness. Flash chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate:pentane 10:90 gave 0.96 g (95%) of the title compound.
