175.6 g methyl-4-hydroxyphenylacetate and 128.9 g phenylboronic acid were added to 3.5 l m-xylene. 88.9 g 3-methylbut-2-enal, and 130 ml of glacial acetic acid were added to this mixture. The mixture was heated to 140° C. in a Dean-Stark apparatus under a nitrogen atmosphere until approximately 70% of the phenol had reacted (approximately 48-72 hours). Then the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, the mixture was filtered, and the solvent was evaporated at reduced pressure. The remaining residue was dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and a 25%-strength aqueous ammonia solution (v/v) and stirred for 2 hours. The THF was largely evaporated off at reduced pressure and ethyl acetate was added. The organic phase was separated, washed in succession with an aqueous 1 N NaOH and a saturated aqueous common salt solution and finally dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was largely evaporated at reduced pressure, and the remaining residue was chromatographed on silica gel (mobile phase: n-hexane/EA 15:1 to 10:1 v/v). Drying of the product fractions in an oil pump vacuum yielded 106 g methyl-(2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromen-6-yl)acetate as pale yellow oil, which was used without further characterization for the subsequent reaction.
