Dimethylformamide → 8-bromo-2-chloro-10H-chromeno[3,2-b]pyridin-10-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 8-bromo-10-oxo-10H-chromeno[3,2-b]pyridine 1-oxide in 100 mL of toluene at 0° C. was added dropwise phosphorus oxychloride (35.8 mL, 391 mmol) followed by 2 mL of DMF and the mixture was stiffed at RT overnight. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue which crashed out of water, was filtered and washed with water, methanol and acetone in sequence. The solid was air dried to give 8-bromo-2-chloro-10H-chromeno[3,2-b]pyridin-10-one as a tan solid.
