Reaction Steps

A stirred suspension of (1,3-dioxo-2-ethyl-4,5-dimethyl-6-indanyloxy)acetic acid (5.52 g., 0.02 mole) in water (200 ml.) is cooled to 5° C. and treated with a solution of potassium borohydride (4.0 g., 0.075 mole) in water (200 ml.) during a 1 hour period. The reaction is stirred for one hour then acidified with hydrochloric acid affording (1,3-dihydroxy-2-ethyl-4,5-dimethyl-6-indanyloxy)acetic acid.
