Procedure

To a stirred solution of 15.0 g (0.079 mole) of 4-amino-1-indanyl acetate in 100 mL (1.25 moles) of thiophene was added dropwise 18.6 mL (0.157 mole) of tert-butyl nitrite. The addition caused an exothermic reaction, raising the temperature of the reaction mixture to 60° C. Upon complete addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours while cooling to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was dissolved in 350 mL of n-heptane, and the solution was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered through a pad of magnesium sulfate, and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to give an oil residue. The oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with hexane, then with 1% ethyl acetatehexane. The appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3.5 g of 4-(2-thienyl)-1-indanyl acetate.
