Reaction Steps

To a suspension of pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC, Fluka, 3.24 g, 15 mmole) in dichloromethane (20ml), there was added at room temperature, a solution of 5-tert-butyl-2-indanmethanol (2.04 g, 10 mmole) in dichloromethane (10 ml). The mixture was stirred for 5 h at room temperature. It was diluted in ether (50 ml), filtered on CELITE®, then on a FLORISIL® column (Fluka), and concentrated. Bulb-to-bulb distillation provided 5-tert-butyl-2-indancarbaldehyde (1.47 g, purity>99%, yield 72%) as a colorless oil.
