Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 60(C) is followed using 2-methyl-6-nitro indanone in equivalent quantities in place of 6-methyoxy-2-methyl-indanone used therein. After the mixture is condensed, 30 ml of ethanol and 50 ml of acetic acid are added. The mixture is then poured into 700 ml of water. Extraction with ether gives methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-nitro-3-indenylacetate.
