Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-{(5-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-4-oxospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,1'-cyclohexan]-7-yl) oxy}acetate prepared in Preparation 49) (1.3 g, 3.92 mmol) is added by portions to fuming nitric acid (d=1.50, 10 ml) at -60° C. with stirring. After one hour stirring at -60° to -40° C., the reaction mixture is poured into ice-cold water. The mixture is extracted with diethyl ether. The ether layer is separated, washed with water and then aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried and concentrated. The residue is washed with diethyl ether. Recrystallization from a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane gives the title compounds as a crystalline solid (1.05 g, yield 74.2%, m.p.=142°-143° C.).
