A solution of (±)-6-hydroxy-2-methoxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman, prepared as described in Example 1 from 1.0 mole of trimethylhydroquinone, in 1250 ml. of acetone, 1000 ml. of H2O and 8.30 ml. of conc. HCl was heated at reflux under N2. The solvent was removed by distillation until tthe distilling head temperature reached 95°. The suspension was cooled to 70°, diluted with 800 ml. of acetone, cooled to ca. 15° and stripped of solvent at reduced pressure and 30° to ca. 1000 ml. The resulting suspension was cooled, filtered and dried to give (±)-2,6-dihydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman as a grey-tan powder, m.p. 105°-107°.
