Procedure
To a solution of 4,5-dimethyl-6-oxo-7-propyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-indeno[5,4-b]furan-2-carboxylic acid (8.0 g.) in ethanol (50 ml.) is added borontrifluoride etherate (13 ml.). The reaction mixture is refluxed for 0.5 hour, treated with water and cooled to afford ethyl [4,5-dimethyl-6-oxo-7-propyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-indeno[5,4-b]-furan-2-carboxylate] after filtration and drying.
