Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8 g (26.5 mmol) of ethyl 7-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate in 60 mL of ethanol was added 2.8 g (11.2 mmol) of iodine, followed by addition of a solution of 9.0 g (39.5 mmol) of periodic acid in 25 mL of water. The resulting solution was heated to 70° C. for five hrs. After cooling to room temperature, the volatiles were removed, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the organic phase washed with saturated aqueous sodium sulfite and satr' brine. The resultant solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the volatiles were removed. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with hexane/ethyl acetate mixture to afford 9.8 g (70%) of a light yellow solid: 1H NMR (CDCl3/300 MHz) 7.62(s, 1H), 7.60(s, 1H), 6.49(s, 1H), 5.69(q, J=6.9 Hz, 1H), 4.30(m, 2H), 3.89(s, 3H), 1.34(t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H). MS (ESI+) 428.9(M+1, 100). HRMS (EI) m/z calcd for (C14H12F3O4) 427.9732, found 427.9741.
