Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 7-(1,1-dimethyl-2-oxoethyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate (6.90 g, 20.2 mmoles) in 200 mL of MeOH stirring in an ice bath, was added portionwise NaBH4 (763 mg, 20.2 mmoles) as a solid. After 25 min, HOAc was cautiously added, and the solution concentrated. The residue was partitioned between DCM and water, and the organic extract dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated. Chromatography of the residue over silica gel using a gradient of 0-10% EtOAc—DCM as eluent gave the title compound, 5.4 g, as a very pale yellow oil.
