Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen, a solution of 28.5 g (0.16 mol) of 6-hydroxy-3,3-dimethylindan-1-one (J. Org. Chem. 19; 1954; 305) in 200 ml of DMF was added dropwise to a solution of 5.6 g (0.19 mol) of 80% sodium hydride in 250 ml of DMF. After 1 h at RT, 30.4 g (0.17 mol) of 1-iodobutane were added, and the mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, the residue was taken up in EA and water and the organic phase was washed successively with dil. hydrochloric acid and dil. sodium hydroxide solution. This procedure gave 31.3 g of 6-butoxy-3,3-dimethylindan-1-one.
