Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-hydroxy-3,4-dihydrobenzopyran-5- carboxaldehyde (308 mg, 1.73 mmol) and p-aminoacetophenone (236 mg, 1.73 mmol) in methanol (8 mL) was heated at reflux for one hour. The mixture was cooled to 15° at which time the intermediate Schiff's base crystallized. After filtration and drying a light orange product (221 mg, 43.3%) was obtained. This material was suspended in methanol (8 mL) and sodium borohydride (28 mg, 0.74 mmol) was added. After stirring at room temperature for ten minutes the mixture was poured into water (75 mL) and the resulting suspension neutralized (pH=7) with 2.5 N HCl. The product was collected by filtration and dried to afford 6-hydroxy-5-(4-acetylphenyl) aminomethyl-3,4-dihydrobenzopyran (170 mg, 76.6%), m.p. 213°-215° C.
