Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (103 g) in 125 ml pyridine was added dropwise at 5°-10° to 6,7-dichloro-2,3-dihydro-4-(hydroxyimino)-4H-1-benzopyran (62.5 g) in 250 ml pyridine. The reaction mixture was then stirred for 20 hours at room temperature, poured into ice-water to separate out the title compound, which was filtered, washed several times with water, then once with ether, and finally dried in air. Yield: 101.8 g; m.p. 180°-184°.
