Hydrochloric Acid → 6-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the ester from Step 2 (0.20 g, 0.56 mmole) was dissolved in 3 mL mixture of MeOH/ACN/H2O=1/1/1, treated with lithium hydroxide (81 mg, 3.36 mmole) and stirred at room temperature for 2 days. The reaction mixture was acidified with 1.0 N HCl to pH=1 and was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water,dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated and dried in vacuo to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (0.11 g, 60%): ESHRMS m/z 326.9438 (M−H, C11H4O4F3Cl2, Calc'd 326.9433). 1H NMR (acetone-d6/400 MHz) 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.46(s, 1H), 6.00 (q, 1H, J=7.0 Hz).
