Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-7-(4-(2,4-dichlorophenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)-chroman-4-carboxylic acid (4.50 g, 8.64 mmol) was dissolved in 25 mL of MeOH and cooled to 0° C. A 0.5 M solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (17.3 mL, 8.64 mmol) was then added and the cooling bath removed. After stirring at ambient temperature for 1 hour, the solution was concentrated to a residue. The residue was mixed with 50 mL of hexanes and stirred for 1 hour. The resulting precipitates were collected by filtration and dried under high vacuum to provide the title compound. The hexane treatment was repeated and the resulting white powder was dried under high vacuum at 65° C. to give sodium 6-chloro-7-(4-(2,4-dichlorophenethylcarbamoyl)-phenoxy)chroman-4-carboxylate (4.7 g, 100% yield). MS (apci) m/z=518 (M+2H-Na).
