Procedure

A warm (40° C.) solution of 29.8 g. (0.1 mole) of sodium dichromate dihydrate in 80 ml of glacial acetic acid is added over a 5-minute period to a stirred, warm (60° C.) solution of 25.5 g. (0.1 mole) of 6-bromo-3-(hydroxymethyl)chromone in 300 ml of glacial acetic acid. The temperature rises to 72° C. After one-half hour, water (1400 ml) is added and the mixture is heated at 80° C. for a few minutes. The mixture is cooled and filtered to give 13.6 g. (54%) of good quality aldehyde. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate gives pure 6-bromo-3-formylchromone having mp 186°-188° C.
