5-fluoro-2-methyl-3-indenyl-acetic acid (15 g, 0.072 mol), 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde (17.85 g, 0.091 mol) and sodium methoxide (13.0 g, 0.24 mol) are heated in methanol (200 ml) at 60° C. under nitrogen with stirring for 6 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is poured into 750 ml of ice-water, and is acidified with 2.5 N hydrochloric acid. The collected solid is triturated with a little ether to produce (Z)-5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene)-3-indenyl-acetic acid (m.p. 166-169° C.). (R=H, R1 =H, R2 =F, R3 =H, R4 =H, R5 =OCH3, R6 =OCH3, R7 =OCH3, R8 =CH3, o=1, M=OH).
