Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled mixture of 8.0 g of the 7-fluoro-1,2-dihydro-2-hydroxymethyl-6-oxo-6H-furo[2,3-c]xanthene obtained in Example 27 and 1,000 ml of acetone, a mixture of chromium trioxide (14 g), water (80 ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (24 g) was added dropwise under agitation. The resulting mixture was left to stand overnight and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness under vacuum. After addition of water, the solid crystal was recovered by filtration, washed with water and dried. Recrystallization from N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) gave 8.1 g of 7-fluoro-1,2-dihydro-6-oxo-6H-furo[2,3-c]xanthene-2-carboxylic acid. m.p. 262°-265° C. This compound produced a mass spectrum having a molecular ion peak at m/e 300.
