Reaction Steps

To the solution of 3-Nitro-6H-benzo[c]chromene-8-carboxylic acid methyl ester (690 mg) in THF/DMF (5 ml/5 ml) was added acetic acid (10 ml), followed by slow addition of Zinc (800 mg). The mixture was stirred for 12 hours and solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, and 0.2 N sodium hydroxide solution was added until pH=10. The organic layer was separated and was washed with water and brine and dried with Na2SO4. Concentration and purification by flash column chromatography (DCM/EtOAc) gave 3-Amino-6H-benzo[c]chromene-8-carboxylic acid methyl ester (300 mg).
