Reaction Steps

Concentrated sulfuric acid (3 mL) was added to a mixture of sodium 3-methyl-1-oxo-1H-isochromene-7-carboxylate (1.69 g) and methanol (50 mL), and heated under stirring in an oil bath at 60° C. for 2 days. The reaction mixture was returned to room temperature, diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain methyl 3-methyl-1-oxo-1H-isochromene-7-carboxylate (1.0 g).
