The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and the reaction was quenched with 1N HCl solution. Then mixture was diluted with water and the resulting suspension was filtered and the solid was dried under vacuum to give 5,6-dimethoxy-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid (150 mg, 48%). LC-MS (ES-API); rt 8.44 min; m/z calculated for C12H12O4 [M−H]− 219.1, found 219.1.
