Procedure

To a solution of 1-chroman-6-yl-cyclopropanecarboxylic methyl ester (1.4 g, 60 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) and water (20 mL) was added LiOH.H2O (1.0 g, 240 mmol) in portions at room temperature. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature before the MeOH was removed by evaporation under vacuum. Water and Et2O were added and the aqueous layer was separated, acidified with HCl and extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×3). The combined organic extracts dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under vacuum to give 1-(4-Hydroxy-4-methoxychroman-6-yl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (1.0 g, 76%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 12.10 (br s, 1 H), 6.95 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 2 H), 6.61-6.59 (m, 1 H), 4.09-4.06 (m, 2H), 2.70-2.67 (m, 2 H), 1.88-1.86 (m, 2 H), 1.37-1.35 (m, 2 H), 1.04-1.01 (m, 2H). MS (ESI) m/z (M+H+) 217.4.
