The one-pot synthesis of valuable indene from 1-indanone in the liquid phase was investigated using unassisted and assisted orthogonal tandem catalysis with a mechanical mixture of Cu/SiO2 and HZSM-5. An indene yield of about 80% was achieved with assisted orthogonal tandem catalysis, varying the temperature and H2 pressure during the process.
