The mixture of indenes from step 1 (1.24 g, approx. 6.1 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (40 mL), treated with 10% Pd on carbon (58 mg), and hydrogenated at 40 psi and room temperature for 60 minutes. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated under vacuum to provide a mixture (1.287 g) of 6-methoxy-1-propyl-indan and 5-methoxy-1-propyl-indan in nearly a 1:1 ratio.
