Procedure

To a mixture of 4-hydroxy-indan-1-one (14.5 g, 0.0979 mol) and 27.08 g (0.195 mol) of potassium carbonate was added 500 mL of acetone and 48.7 mL (0.78 mol) of methanol with stirring and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 4 h, cooled, and allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 h. The above mixture was filtered, concentrated under vacuo, the solid residue was dissolved in methanol, heated and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to a volume of 100 mL, cooled and filtered to afford 12.6 g (79%) of 4-methoxy-indan-1-one.
