Reaction Steps

Dry pyridine hydrochloride (500 gm.) is melted and heated to 195° C. and 2-allyl-6,7-dichloro-5-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (45.4 gm., 0.167 mole) is added with stirring. The reaction mixture is kept at 195° C. for 45 minutes and then poured with vigorous stirring into crushed ice (2 kg.). The crude product is collected by filtration, washed with water and dried. The 2-allyl-6,7-dichloro-5-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one is recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and water.
