Reaction Steps

14 g of ethyl 6-hydroxy-5,7,8-trimethyl-4-oxo-2H-chromene-2-carboxylate [prepared as described in J. Med. Chem., 18, 934 (1975)] were dissolved in 320 ml of acetic acid, and the resulting solution was catalytically reduced for 1 hour at 60°-65° C., under a hydrogen pressure of 3 atmospheres and in the presence of 3.5 g of 10% w/w palladium-on-carbon. The catalyst was filtered off, and the filtrate was poured into water. The white crystals which separated were collected by filtration, to give the title compound, melting at 108°-109° C.
