Reaction Steps

1,3-bis(2,2-dimethoxy-1,3-dioxoindan-5-yl)benzene (33) (119 mg, 0.25 mmol) was suspended in a solvent mixture of 3 ml of acetic acid and 3 ml of water, and the suspension was mixed with 3 ml of 47% hydrobromic acid. This mixture was refluxed at 115° C. over night. After it was cooled to room temperature, the reaction solution was filtered to obtain a solid, which was then dried at a reduced pressure, to obtain 59 mg (56%) of 1,3-bis(2,2-dihydroxy-1,3-dioxoindan-5-yl)benzene (34) in the form of a beige solid. The readings for this compound are as follows.
