Reaction Steps

2(2-bromoethyl)-1,3-dioxolane (14.09 ml, 120.1 mmole) was added to a solution of 1-indanecarbonitrile (15.63 g, 109.2 mmole) in 100 ml of THF and cooled to 0° C. After the dropwise addition of 1M LHMDS (120 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 1-[2-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)ethyl]-1-indanecarbonitrile as a thick oil.
