Abstract

Abstract Treatment of 2, 2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyrans 5 with a m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid- trifluoroacetic acid mixture and subsequent short path bulb to bulb vacuum distillation of the crude 3, 4-hydroxyesters 6 formed afforded title compounds in good yields. Suppression of trifluoroacetic acid was required when using 2, 2-di-methyl-2H-1-benzopyrans with electron donating substituents such as precocenes, as starting compounds.
