Procedure
t-Butyl 6-hydroxy-6-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohexylidene)-hexanoate (100 mg, 0.30 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2/TFA 1:1 mixture (2 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was evaporated giving 6-hydroxy-6-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohexylidene)-hexanoic acid (0.81 g, 98%)
