p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate → HCID 16216560, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.5 L of toluene was added 32 g (0.133 mol) of 6-methoxy-1-phenyl-indan-1-ol and 100 mg of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate and the mixture was placed on a Rotovap and the solvent was distilled in vacuo (40 mm) until a brown oil residue was obtained. The brown oil was chromatographed (silica, 1:1 hexane/methylene chloride) to afford 17.47 g (60.2%) of 1-phenyl-6-methoxy-indene as a pale yellow oil.
