Participants

Reaction Steps

A MeOH (1 mL) solution of 3-oxo-indancarboxylic acid (85.5 mg, 0.485 mmol) was mixed with Pd/C (16.5 mg) and hydrogenated at room temperature under 55 psi H2 pressure for 18 h. The crude mixture was filtered and concentrated to give 1-indanecarboxylic acid (74.4 mg, 95%). MS Found: (M−H)·=161.
