Procedure
2-Ethoxycarbonyl-7-hydroxychromone (14.5 g, 62 mmol) is initially introduced dissolved in ethanol (400 ml) at 50° C., and sodium carbonate (20 g, 190 mmol) dissolved in deionised H2O (200 ml) is added dropwise. The mixture is refluxed at 80° C. for 3 hours with stirring. After cooling, the mixture is acidified using 2N HCl. The precipitated white solid is filtered off with suction, washed until neutral and dried.
