Procedure

To a solution of ethyl (1RS, 3RS)-1,3-di-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)indane-2-carboxylate (75 mg, 0.17 mmol) in EtOH (20 ml) was added NaOH (0.10 g, 2.5 mmol). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 d, at which time thin layer chromatographic analysis indicated that the reaction was incomplete. The mixture was then heated at reflux for 36 h, allowed to cool and was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added concentrated HCl, and the solid which formed was collected by filtration and dried. The solid was triturated with boiling hexanes to afford the title compound as a white solid (50 mg, 73%); m.p. 182-185° C.
