Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (1.68 g, 7.99 mmol) was dissolved in DMF and treated with triethylamine (1.61 g, 15.98 mmol), copper iodide (152 mg, 0.79 mmol) and prop-2-yn-1-ol (2.24 g, 39.96 mmol) in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 (462 mg, 0.39 mmol) at ambient temperature. After being refluxed for 16 h, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL×3) and washed with brine. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4. Solvent removal under vacuum gave crude tan oil. Purification by preparative thin-layer chromatography afforded 5-(hydroxyprop-1-yn-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1-one (1.06 g, 72% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): δ 7.63 (d, 1H), 7.59 (s, 1H), 7.42 (d, 1H), 4.45 (s, 2H), 3.18 (m, 2H), 2.69 (m, 2H); MS (EI) for C12H10O2: 187.20 (MH+).
