Reaction Steps

936 g of N-(2,2-dimethyl-indan-1-yl)glycine methyl ester are added dropwise with cooling to 5° C. to 1817 ml of formic acid. Additionally 664 ml of acetic anhydride are added, and the mixture is kept at room temperature for 18.5 hours. Destillation under vacuum affords 1015 g of N-formyl-N-(2,2-dimethyl-indan-1-yl)glycine methyl ester.
