Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 1C is followed using 2-methyl-6-nitro indanone in equivalent quantities in place of 6-methoxy-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.
