Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-methoxy-1-indanone (1.0 g, 6.17 mmol) and bis-(2-bromo-ethyl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester (1.87 g, 6.17) in DMF (10 mL) at 50° C. was added NaH (0.370 g, 15.4 mmol) by small portions. After being stirred at 50° C. for 16 hr, the reaction was cooled to ambient temperature. The reaction was diluted with 15 mL of ethyl acetate and washed twice with 10 mL of water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column (gradient of 85:15 to 60:40 heptane/ethyl acetate over 30 min) to give the title compound (590 mg, 1.945 mmol). MS calculated for C17H22NO4 304.4. found (ESI) m/z 304.2 (M+H)+, retention time 1.56 min.
