Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution 4-Hydroxy-3-(3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isobenzofuran-1-yl)-chromen-2-one (60 mg) in ethanol is added 10% Pd/C (10 mg) then stirred under a hydrogen balloon for 12 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to give 2-(4-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-ylmethyl)-benzoic acid as white solid (50 mg). MS: 295 [M-H].
