反応手順

A solution of methyl 2-(2-ethyl-3-methyl-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-6-yl)propionate (1 g) in ethanol (120 mls), and sodium bicarbonate (1 g) in water (30 mls) was refluxed for 20 hours. The ethanol was removed on a `Rotavapor` and the residue was washed with ether (3×50 mls). After acidification with dilute hydrochloric acid, the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mls), which was washed with brine solution (3×30 mls), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and evaporated to yield an off-white solid. This was recrystallised from ethyl acetate to yield the product as a pale yellow solid (0.4 g; 42%), mp 196°-198° C.
