Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-methyl-2-phenyl-5-allyloxy-6,7-dichloro-1-indanone (12.5 g., 0.036 mole) in N,N-diethylaniline (120 ml.) is refluxed for one and one-half hours then poured into excess cold dilute hydrochloric acid. The product is extracted into ether, washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the ether affords 2-methyl-2-phenyl-4-allyl-5-hydroxy-6,7-dichloro-1-indanone which melts at 125°C. after crystallization from butyl chloride.
