Reaction Steps

A 75:25 diastereoisomeric mixture of 6-fluoro-2-((R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-2H-chromene (50 mg, 0.18 mmol, 90.4% A) was dissolved in ethanol and stirred under nitrogen athmosphere at 25° C. Ammonium formiate (60.5 mg, 0.96 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (50 mg) were added to the stirred solution and the reaction mixture refluxed for 15 h. The reaction mixture was checked to show complete conversion of the starting material. The solids were removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to furnish 6-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2-((R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-2H-chromene (40 mg, 0.115 mmol, 72.6% A, 64% yield) as a 75:25 mixture of diastereoisomers.
