Reaction Steps

The mixture of 100.7 g (0.43 mol) 8-methoxy-2-chromancarboxylic acid ethyl ester and 20.1 g (0.50 mol) sodium hydroxide in 800 ml ethanol was stirred for 24 h at 20°. After evaporation, the residue was treated with water and extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was acidified and then extracted with diethylether. Usual work-up yielded 95.2 g of crystalline 8-methoxychroman-2-carboxylic acid.
