Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution composed of 3.0 g of (3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-benzopyran-2-yl)carboxylic acid, 2 drops of N,N-dimethylformamide and 50 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane was added 1.1 ml of thionyl chloride and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the low-boiling substances. This procedure gave (3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-benzopyran-2-yl)carbonyl chloride in a quantitative yield of 3.39 g.
