Reaction Steps

A mixture of 40 g of 7-hydroxy-3-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, 46 g of ethyl 2-bromopropionate, 250 ml of dimethylformamide and 46.5 g of potassium carbonate was stirred well with heating at 80° C. for 2 hours and poured into 270 ml of ice water. The resulting crystalline precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethyl acetate-ethanol to give 103 g of 7-(1-ethoxycarbonylethyl)oxy-3-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one as white crystals. m.p. 165°-166° C.
