The mixture was heated at 50° C., and a solution of methanesulphonyl chloride (1 mL) in dry DMF (1.5 mL) was added slowly. After reaction at 80° C. for 1 h, the mixture was cooled to rt and poured into a large volume of ice cold aq. sodium acetate (12 g/100 mL), then extracted with EtOAc, and the organic layer was dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of DCM and MeOH to give 7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-chromen-4-one.
