Reaction Steps

Into a solution of 25.6 g of 4-methyl-7-hydroxy-1-indanone in 250 ml of acetic acid was added 19.4 ml of acetic anhydride and a solution of 15.4 ml of concentrated nitric acid in 50 ml of acetic acid gradually. The reaction mixture was concentrated to drynsss, and the residue was washed with ether to obtain 25.7 g of 4-methyl-6-nitro-7-hydroxy-1-indanone.
