Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.14 g(0.4 mmol) of methyl 8-chloro-6-ethyl-7-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate in 5 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added a solution of 82 mg (1.95 mmol ) lithium hydroxide in 8 mL of water, followed by addition of 3 mL of ethanol. The resulting solution was heated to reflux for two h. The mixture was concd in vacuo. The residue was diluted with water and acidified to pH=1.0 with dilute hydrochloric acid. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combinced organic extracts dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Concentration in vacuo afforded 86 mg (64%) of a the product as white solid: 1H NMR (CDCl3/400 MHz) 7.80(s, 1H ), 7.01(s, 1H ), 5.77(q, J=6.8 Hz, 1H), 3.89(s, 3H), 2.62(q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.21(t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H). MS (ESI+) 337.0 (M+1, 100). MS(ES−) 335.0 (M−H, 100), HRMS (ES−) m/z calcd for (C14H11ClF3O4) M−H: 335.0292, found 335.0297.
