Potassium Permanganate → HCID 12898485, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.7 g of 2-methyl-1-(5-oxo-5H-[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-7-yl)-1-propanol, 60 ml of acetone and 1.5 g of potassium permanganate is refluxed for 6 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered, and the residue is washed thoroughly was chloroform. The filtrate and washings are concentrated, and the residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel with chloroform as eluent, and further by recrystallization from ethanol to give 7-isobutyryl-5-oxo-5H-[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine melting at 155°-156°C.
