Procedure

To a mixture of 100 g of 7% Zn/Hg in 200 ml of 20% hydrochloric acid and 70 ml of ethanol was added 38.42 g of the 7-chloro-2,2,4,5-tetramethylindan-1,3-dione with stirring. After refluxing for 6 hours, the reaction mixture was added 100 ml of benzene and refluxed for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography to afford 17.0 g of the title compound as yellow oil.
