Reaction Steps

2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane (12.94 ml, 125.0 mmole) was added to a solution of 1-indanecarbonitrile (16.27 g, 113.6 mmole) in 100 ml of THF and cooled to 0° C. After the dropwise addition of 1M LHMDS (125 ml) the solution was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min then at room temperature for 20 min. After the removal of solvent the residue was flashed of silica using 15% EtOAc and Hexanes to afford 19.23 g of 1-(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)-1-indanecarbonitrile (74% yield) as a thick oil.
