Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of KMnO4 (0.35 g, 2.2 mmol) in H2O (11 mL) at 80° C. was added 7-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxine-6-carbaldehyde (0.20 g, 1.1 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred at 100° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solids were washed with H2O (30 mL). The filtrate was acidified with concentrated HCl, which led to the formation of a white precipitate, which was collected, washed with H2O and dried in vacuo to provide 0.12 g (57%) of the title compound as a white solid. MS (ESI): exact mass calculated for C6H7FO4, 198.03; m/z not found. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): 12.95 (s, 1H), 7.29 (d, J=7.2, 1H), 6.87 (d, J=11.6, 1H), 4.34-4.31 (m, 2H), 4.27-4.24 (m, 2H).
