Procedure
A mixture comprised of an ethanol (8 ml) solution of ethyl 8-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5,6,7-tetramethoxyindan-2-yl)octanoate (367 mg, 0.764 mmols) and an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1N, 0.764 ml, 0.764 mmols) was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours, and an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1 N, 0.153 ml, 0.153 mmols) was added thereto and the stirring was continued at room temperature for further 6 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, which was made acidic by adding 1 N hydrochloric acid, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and then dried. The solvent was evaporated out in vacuo, and the resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1 to 1:2) to obtain the entitled compound (78.6 mg) as an oil.
