Reaction Steps

5-trifluoromethoxy-salicylaldehyde (286.0 mg, 1.39 mmol) and Meldrum's acid (200 mg, 1.39 mmol) were combined in H2O (2 mL). The solution was stirred at 75° C. for 2 h. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitate was filtered and dried at suction to give 189.1 mg of 6-trifluoromethoxy-3-carboxy-coumarin in a 50% yield.
