Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

LiHMDS (57.5 mL, 1.0 M in THF) was added under nitrogen atmosphere at −78° C. to a suspension of dimethylcarbamic acid 6-chloro-4-methyl-3-(3-nitrobenzyl)-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-7-yl ester (compound 1g-1-3) (20.0 g, 48.0 mmol) in anhydrous THF (250 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 minutes and at 0° C. for 30 minutes. Paraformaldehyde (2.88 g, 96.0 mmol) was then added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then poured into water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with saturated saline and dried over magnesium sulfate. A crude solid was obtained by vacuum concentration, and it was washed with ethyl acetate to yield the title compound (18.5 g, 86%) as a white powder.
