Reaction Steps

A mixture of 41 g of 3-ethyl-5-methoxy-indane and 111 g of pyridine hydrochloride was heated for 5 hours at 210° C. After it had cooled, 800 ml of water were added. The aqueous phase was extracted by shaking with chloroform. The combined organic phases were washed until neutral, and dried. Molecular distillation gave 32 g of 3-ethyl-5-hydroxy-indane; boiling point : 144° C/10 mm Hg. ##STR29##
