Reaction Steps

A solution of 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3.75 mmol) and 3 N sodium hydroxide (4.12 mmol) in MeOH (30 mL) was heated at reflux for 2 h. The solution was cooled to rt and made acidic with 2 N hydrochloric acid. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and then diluted with water. The resultant solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and air-dried to yield the title compound.
