Procedure

To a solution of 1-[4-(2-carboxy-ethoxy)-phenyl]-cyclopropanecarboxylic methyl ester (5.0 g, 20 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) were added oxalyl chloride (4.8 g, 38 mmol) and two drops of DMF at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0-5° C. for 1 h and then evaporated under vacuum. To the resulting mixture was added CH2Cl2 (50 mL) at 0° C. and stirring was continued at 0-5° C. for 1 h. The reaction was slowly quenched with water and was extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×3). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under vacuum to give the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 20:1-2:1) to give 1-(4-oxochroman-6-yl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (830 mg, 19%) and methyl 1-(4-oxochroman-6-yl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (1.8 g, 38%). 1-(4-Oxochroman-6-yl)cyclopropane-carboxylic acid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 12.33 (br s, 1H), 7.62 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (dd, J=2.4, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.95 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.50 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 2.75 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 1.44-1.38 (m, 2H), 1.10-1.07 (m, 2H).
