The reaction mixture is refluxed for 15 minutes, then the solvent is distilled at reduced pressure. The crude product is poured into water (500 ml.), extracted into ether, washed with water and dried over magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the ether the product is crystallized from methylcyclohexane affording 8.2 g. of 2,2-dimethyl-5-methoxy-6,7-dichloro-1-indanone which melts at 142° C.
