To a stirred solution of 5.8 g 4-chloro-3-formyl-flav-3-ene in 500 ml tert-butanol and 100 ml 2-methylbut-2-ene at room temperature is added dropwise a solution of 17.9 g sodium chlorite and 17.9 g sodium dihydrogenophosphate in 200 ml water. Stirring is continued for 5 hours. The solution is concentrated in vacuo and water is added to the residue to give a suspension. The mixture is extracted with hexane and the clear organic extracts are discarded. Subsequently, the aqueous suspension is acidified to pH 3 and the mixture is extracted with chloroform. The combined chloroform extracts are washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residual solid is recrystallized in a mixture of chloroform and hexane. Pure 4-chloro-3-carboxy-flav-3-ene is obtained as yellow crystals; m.p. 210° C.
