Reaction Steps

In a 5 mL Schlenk tube 18 mg (0.054 mmol) 6-ethyl-7-hydroxy-3-[(4-methyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate 10 (Aldrich, no. R66,464-2) were suspended in 0.5 mL methylene chloride. Then 51 mg (0.54 mmol) phenol and 18 μl (0.108 mmol) triflate anhydride were added at ambient temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred for 20 hours, diluted in 10 mL of ethyl acetate and washed with water and saturated solutions of sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride. The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. Evaporation of the solvent on a rotavapor yielded 9 mg of a yellow solid. This crude product was used without further purification.
