In 40 ml of a 5% sodium hydroxide solution 5.2 g (20 -millimoles) of 6-hydroxy-7-sec. butoxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-chromanone are dissolved whereupon 80 ml of dichloro methane and 0.5 g of triethyl benzyl ammonium chloride are added and the mixture is intensively stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. After the addition of 4.25 g (1.9 ml, 30 millimoles) of methyl iodide the reaction mixture is stirred for another 2 hours. The organic phase is separated, washed twice with 50 ml of water each, dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent is removed. The residue is crystallized from 90% ethanol. Thus 5.34 g of the desired compound are obtained, yield 96%. Mp.: 92.5°-93° C.
