Procedure

In a 2 liter 3-necked flask fitted with a condenser and thermometer and magnetically stirred, 126.7 g (0.613 mole) of 4,5-dimethoxy-6-indanaldehyde, 29.3 g (0.380 mole) of ammonium acetate, 127 ml (2.82 mole) of nitromethane and 390 ml of acetic acid were heated at 112°C for 45 minutes. After cooling in the refrigerator and scratching with a glass rod the solution crystallized. After filtering and washing with cold acetic acid the product was dried under vacuum overnight and recrystallized from methanol yielding 104.4 g (68%) of 4,5-dimethoxy-6 -nitrovinylindane as yellow needles, m.p. 103.5°-104.5°C. Anal. Calcd. for C13H15NO4 : C, 62.64; H, 6.06; N, 5.62. Found: C, 62.45; H, 6.17; N, 5.84.
