Abstract
A series of ethyl 6-substituted 2-hydroxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylates was obtained in good yields via the Knoevenagel condensation of salicylaldehydes with ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate in the presence of piperidinium acetate. The subsequent recyclization of these chromenes proceeds smoothly in refluxing chlorobenzene in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid affording previously unknown 3-(trifluoroacetyl)coumarins in moderate to good yields.
Key words

References and Notes
Typical Procedure for Preparation of 6
A mixture of salicylaldehyde (5.0 mmol), ethyl trifluoro-acetoacetate (5.0 mmol) and piperidinium acetate (4 mg, 5 mol%) was refluxed in MeCN (10 mL) for 3-4 h and then diluted with H2O (30 mL). The precipitate that formed was filtered, washed with warm H2O (50 °C, 5 × 10 mL) and dried on air to give 6.

General Procedure for Preparation of 7
A mixture of chromene 6 (0.5 mmol) and TsOH·H2O (10 mg, 10 mol.%) was refluxed in chlorobenzene (5 mL) for 10-17 h and then concentrated to ca. 2 mL in volume. The resulting reaction mixture was dried in vacuo, dissolved in toluene (15 mL) and washed with H2O (3 × 5 mL). Toluene solution was refluxed with a Dean-Stark trap for 5 h, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was sublimed affording 7.
