반응 단계

To a mixture of 5,6-dimethoxy-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one (4.5 g) and 7% aqueous NaOH (47 ml) was added KMnO4 (4.0 g) diluted in water (125 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 days. Insoluble material was removed by filtration. The filtrate was cooled with ice-water bath and acidified with concentrated HCl. The acidic solution was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (300 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated.
