Procedure

To a 2 L round bottom flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer and condenser was added 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde (200 g, 1.05 mol, 1 equiv.), acetic anhydride (356 g , 3.49 mol) and triethylamine (95.0 g, 0.94 mol, 0.90 equiv.). The reaction solution was heated at reflux overnight. The dark brown reaction mixture was cooled to 50° C. and water (1 L) added with stirring. After one hour the mixture was filtered and the filtrate combined with EtOH (1 L). This mixture was heated to 45° C. for one hour, cooled to room temperature, filtered and the solid (fraction A) washed with EtOH (0.5 L). The combined EtOH solutions were concentrated by rotary evaporation to an oil (fraction B). The solid from fraction A was dissolved in methylene chloride (1.5 L) and the resulting solution passed through a pad of silica gel (1300 mL volume). The resulting dark brown solution was concentrated to an oil that was triturated with hexanes (1.3 L) to give a solid that was isolated by filtration and washed (hexanes) to give substantially pure 6,8-dichlorocoumarin (163 g). A further 31 g of product was obtained by treating the oil, fraction B, in a similar fashion; the oil was dissolved in methylene chloride (0.5 L) passed through a silica pad (0.5 L volume) and triturated with hexanes. The total isolated yield was 194 g or 86% yield of the brown solid.
