Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(7-acetoxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)phenyl acetate of formula (3) (80 gm) in DMF (400 mL) an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide (29.8 g, 0.71 mol) was added at RT and maintained at 60-70° C. for 1-2 hours. After the completion of the reaction, water (800 mL) and dilute hydrochloric acid (112 mL) was added to the reaction mass. The reaction mass was maintained at RT for 1-2 hours. The solid was filtered and dried at 70-75° C. for 6-8 hours to afford the title compound.
