Procedure

To a stirred solution of methyl-lithium in ether (60ml, 2M solution) at room temperature was added over 0.5 hours 7-hydroxy-4-(1-naphthyl)coumarin (7.5g, 0.025 moles). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 hours, allowed to cool and decomposed by the addition of dilute hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was separated, the aqueous layer extracted with ether (2×) and the combined organic extracts washed with water and dried. Removal of solvent gave the required title chromene as an orange oil (7.22g, 95%).
