Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4,5-dichloro-2-hydroxyphenyl) (phenyl)methanone (1.5 g), diethyl malonate (1.28 ml) and DBU (0.25 ml) was stirred at 170° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 ml), and washed with water followed by a 1 N solution of hydrochloric acid and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. After drying over magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced presurre, and the residue was purified by a column chromatography (packing: silica gel, eluent: ethyl acetate-hexane=1:9). The resultant crude product of ethyl 6,7-dichloro-2-oxo-4-phenyl-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate was dissolved in acetic acid (10 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (5 ml), and heated under reflux for 1 hour. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resultant residue was dissolved in a solvent mixture of THF (10 ml) and ethyl acetate (50 ml), and then washed with water followed by a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. After drying over magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate to obtain the title compound (0.65 g, yield: 34%).
