The reaction of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-3,8-diol (I) with ethyl chloroformate by means of triethylamine in THF gives 3,4-dihydro-8-lethoxy carbonyloxyl-2H-1-benzopyran-3-ol (II), which is treated with nitric acid and acetic anhydride in acetonitrile to yield 3,4-dihydro-8-(ethoxycarbonyloxy)-2H-1-benzopyran-3-ol-3-nitrate (III). The hydrolysis of (III) with NaOH in methanol affords 3,4-dihydro-8-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-3-ol 3-nitrate (IV), which is condensed with epichlorohydrin (V) by means of NaOH in water giving 3,4-dihydro-8-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-2H-1-benzopyran-3-ol 3-nitrate (VI). Finally, this compound is treated with isopropylamine in refluxing ethanol.
