Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3.1 g (9.1 mmol) of ethyl 4-benzylidene-6-methoxychroman-3-ylcarbamate were dissolved in 80 ml of EtOH and 910 mg (0.9 mmol) Pd/C were added. Then, 5.8 g (91 mmol) of ammonium formate dissolved in 20 ml of water were added and the mixture was warmed to 70° C. and stirred for 1.5 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. The catalyst was filtered off and washed with EtOH/water. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to remove EtOH. The aqueous concentrate was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and the solvent was evaporated to yield 3.2 g (9.3 mmol, quant.) of the crude product.
