After 5 hours at room temperature the reaction solution is partitioned between water and dichloromethane, the organic phases are dried over sodiumsulphate and concentrated. 15 g of the obtained residue are taken up in 600 ml of toluene and are refluxed for 5 hours together with 570 mg of p-toluene-sulphonic acid in a Dean Stark apparatus. Washing of the reaction solution with 2N aq. sodium hydroxide solution and water yields after drying over sodiumsulphate and concentration a residue that is purified by flash-chromatography (silica gel/dichloromethane, hexane 1:2). Concentration of the eluate gives 2,2-diethyl-1-benzopyran-6-carbonitrile as colorless oil.
