Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

18.5 g (62.8 mmol) of 2-methyl-8-[(1E)-prop-1-en-1-yl]-4H-chromen-4-one are dissolved in 400 ml of dichloromethane and cooled to −60° C. Ozone is passed into the reaction solution for 30 min. Dimethyl sulfide is then added to the reaction mixture. After warming to room temperature, the solvent is removed in vacuo, and the residue is slurried in a little methanol. The solid remaining after filtration is recrystallized from diethyl ether. 9.1 g (77.4% of theory) of the title compound are obtained.
