Abstract

Synthesis of 5-chloro-2,2,4,6-tetramethylindane (I) is described. 2,2-Dimethylation of the known indanone II, followed by reduction gives trimethylindane III. Birch reduction of III and subsequent acid hydrolysis leads to a mixture of $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\beta$, $\gamma$-unsaturated enones. Vilsmeier-Haack reaction on the latter affords the indanecarboxaldehyde IV which is then reduced to I.
