To a solution of benzyl-(1RS,2SR)-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-5-prop-1-yloxy-3-oxo-indane-2-carboxylate (8.2 g, 18.4 mmol) in warm acetic acid (130 ml), was added under argon 10% Pd/C (4.1 g) followed by 1,4-cyclohexadiene (17.4 ml, 185 mmol). The reaction was exothermic and gas evolution was observed. The reaction was allowed to stir under argon at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography of the residue (silica gel, 3:7 ethyl acetate:hexane) afforded the title compound as a pinkish solid (5.08 g, 93%).
