6-iodo-2,3-dihydrochromen-4-one

Conditions: temp:-78.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: CeCl3 (4.9 g, 19.8 mmol) was dried in vacuo at 140° C. for 3 h and then slurried with dry THF (100 ml) for 1 h. The white suspension was chilled to −78° C. followed by the addition of MeLi.LiBr (14.2 ml, 21.4 mmol) over 15 minutes. The mixture was stirred for 30 min followed by the addition of a THF (20 ml) solution of 6-iodo-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one dropwise via syringe. After 30 min TLC (15% EtOAc/hexanes) indicated complete reaction. The mixture was treated with NH4Cl (aq.) 30 ml and diluted with water 150 ml. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the organic layer dried over Na2SO4. The Na2SO4 was removed by filtration and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to yield 6-iodo-4-methylchroman-4-ol as an off white solid 4.7 g (95%). HRMS (ESI+) calcd for C10H11IO2 m/z 289.9806 (M+H)+. Found 289.9803. reaction The mixture was extracted with EtOAc the organic layer dried over Na2SO4 The Na2SO4 was removed by filtration the filtrate concentrated in vacuo

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a CH2Cl2 (300 ml) suspension of 6-iodo-4-chromanol (15 g, 54.3 mmol) and 30 g of silica gel, at r.t., was added PCC (15.2 g, 70.6 mmol) as a solid. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 3 h at which time TLC (20% EtOAc/hexanes) indicated complete reaction. The reaction mixture was filtered through a silica gel plug and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to yield 14.9 g (95%) of 6-iodo-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one as a white solid consistent with the literature report (Synthesis 1997, 23-25). HRMS (ESI+) calcd for C9H7IO2 m/z 273.9492; found 273.9500. reaction The reaction mixture was filtered through a silica gel plug the filtrate concentrated in vacuo
