Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4b,9b-dihydroxy-7-isopropyl-4bH-benzo[d]indeno[1,2-b]furan-10(9bH)-one (1.0 g, 3.3 mmol) in diethylene glycol (10 ml) were added with hydrazine hydrate (80%, 0.36 g, 9.6 mmol), followed by stirring at 150° C. for 15 min. The reaction mixture was added potassium hydroxide (360 mg, 6.4 mmol), and stirred at 165-170° C. for 1 hrs. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethylacetate, and purified using column chromatography (20% ethylacetate in hexane) to afford the title compound (60 g, 6.5%).
