The most volatile by-product of the reaction (methyl formate) is condensed and collected in the Dean-Stark trap. After 28-281/2 hours of reflux the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and poured into 6000 ml of brine. The resulting suspension is extracted with methylene chloride (6×250 ml). Evaporation of the solvent yields 153 g of 3-methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-2-(4'-chlorophenyl)-4-pyrone. mp (methylene chloride/ether)=131°-132° C.
