Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one (415 mg, 1.5 mmol, Example 1, Step 2), triphenylphosphine (787 mg, 3.0 mmol), CCl4 (0.75 mL, 7.8 mmol), and chloroform (2 mL) was heated at 80° C. in a sealed vial for 4.5 h and then allowed to cool to rt. The reaction was concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (1:0→4:1; hexanes:ethyl acetate) to give 4-chloro-8-(cyclopentyloxy)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one: MS (ESI): 294.8.
