Procedure
6-Methoxy-3-oxo-indan-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (4 g, 18.18 mmol) was added to a solution of LiOH.H2O (2.2 g, 54.5 mmol) in THF (40 ml) and H2O (40 ml), then the mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for one hour. After removal of THF, the residue was acidified to PH=3, and the precipitate was collected and dried to give a white solid (3.38 g, 89.8%). LC-MS: m/e 207 (MH+)
