Lithium aluminum hydride (1 M in Et2O, 14 mL, 14 mmol) was slowly added to a solution of 2-indanylacetic acid (2.5 g, 14 mmol) in Et2O. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h and was cooled to room temperature. Water and EtOAc were added and the organic solution was washed with water (2×) and brine (1×), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford 2-indanylethanol (2.1 g) which was used in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.08-7.24 (m, 4H), 3.75 (t, 2H), 3.07 (m, 2H), 2.61 (m, 3H), 1.80 (m, 2H); MS 180 (M+18).
