Reaktionsschritte

Diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (1.15 eq.) is slowly added to a suspension of sodium hydride (1.15 eq.) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran at 0° C. The reaction medium is stirred for 10 minutes at 0° C. and then cooled to −78° C. 4-Chromanone dissolved in tetrahydrofuran is added. The temperature is then returned slowly to 20-25° C. over 2 hours 30. After removal of the solvent, the compounds are extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with a large amount of a saturated solution of sodium chloride, concentrated and purified (Z/E mixture) on a silica column (AcOEt/PE 3/7).
