Procedure

To a solution of 6-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (3.0 g, 20.3 mmol) in THF (140 mL) were triphenylphosphine (7.97 g, 30.4 mmol) and 3,3,3-trifluoropropan-1-ol (1.963 mL, 22.27 mmol) added. Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (5.98 mL, 30.4 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture was left stirring at r.t. overnight. Since there was starting material remaining, 3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propanol (0.892 mL, 10.1 mmol) was added dropwise and stirring was continued. After 30 min the mixture was heated to 40° C. and after 1 h the mixture was concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (0-12% EtOAc in heptane as eluent) to afford 1.08 g (22% yield) of the title compound (containing some diisopropyl azodicarboxylate): 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.65 (qt, 2 H), 2.71-2.77 (m, 2 H), 3.05-3.13 (m, 2 H), 4.23 (t, 2 H), 7.17-7.23 (m, 2 H), 7.40 (d, 1 H); MS (ES+) m/z 245 [M+H]+.
