Methyl 1-benzylindane-1-carboxylate (2.5 g, 9.4 mmol) from Step B was dissolved in a solution of 23 mL methanol and 23 mL water. Sodium hydroxide (0.940 g, 23.5 mmol) was added to the reaction. The reaction was refluxed and stirred for 90 minutes and then quenched with 100 mL of 1N HCl and extracted with diethyl ether (3×50 mL). The combined organic washings were dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to furnish 1-benzylindane-1-carboxylic acid (2.4 g, 100%) as a yellow oil that was pure enough to be used in the next step.
