The general procedure for the synthesis of 6-amino-1-indanone from 6-nitro-1-indanone was as follows: a mixed suspension of 6-nitroindan-1-one (10 g, 56 mmol) with 10% Pd/C catalyst (2.0 g) in methanol (200 mL) was subjected to stirring in a hydrogenation reactor for 3 hr at room temperature under a hydrogen pressure of 30 psi. Upon completion of the reaction, the catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated to afford 6-aminoindan-1-one (7.2 g, 87% yield).
