Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9.2 g of ethyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-8-carboxylate (prepared as described by Da Re et al., J. Med. Chem., 2, 263 (1960)), 6.4 g of N-bromosuccinimide and 0.04 g of benzoylperoxide in 80 ml of anhydrous carbon tetrachloride was stirred at reflux for 1.5 hours. After cooling to room temperature the formed succinimide was collected by suction and washed with cold carbon tetrachloride. The mother liquors were evaporated to dryness in vacuo and the residue was rinsed with diethyl ether and collected by suction yielding 9.2 g of the title compound melting at 133°-134° C. after crystallization from acetone-n-hexane.
