Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Pyridine hydrochloride (4.4 g, 37.8 mmol) was heated to 190° C. 8-bromo-2-methoxy-6H-dibenzo[c,h]chromene (1.29 g, 3.8 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 190° C. After four hours, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with water. A precipitate formed which was collected by filtration and purified by flash column chromatography to yield 8-bromo-6H-dibenzo[c,h]-chromen-2-ol (697 mg, 56%).
