Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-hydroxy-3,4-dihydrobenzopyran-5-carboxaldehyde (299 mg, 1.68 mmol) and 2,4 -difluoroaniline (219 mg, 1.68 mmol) in methanol (8 mL) was heated to reflux for 20 minutes during which time the intermediate Schiff's base crystallized, and, after cooling to room temperature, was collected by filtration and dried. The isolated Schiff's base (175 mg, 36%) was suspended in methanol (8 mL) and sodium borohydride (25 mg, 0.66 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes, poured into water (50 mL) and carefully neutralized (pH=7) with 2.5 N HCl. The product was collected by filtration and dried to afford 6-hydroxy-5-(2,4-difluorophenyl)aminomethyl-3, 4-dihydrobenzopyran, (170 mg, 96.6%), m.p. 120°-121° C.
