Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of NaOH (7.26 mmol) in a mixture of MeOH (5.4 mL) and water (12.1 mL) is added to 2H-chromene-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (4.84 mmol). The mixture is stirred at 55° C. for 3 h, partially concentrated in vacuo to remove MeOH and made acidic by addition of aq. HCl (1.0M). The desired carboxylic acid precipitates and is collected by filtration. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6): δ=4.75 (bs, 2H); 5.99-6.05 (m, 1H); 6.98 (d, J=7.78 Hz, 1H); 7.19 (t, J=7.78 Hz, 1H); 7.25 (d, J=10.3 Hz, 1H); 7.40 (d, J=7.78 Hz, 1H); 13.0 (bs, 1H).
