Excess lithium metal was added in chunks to the solution as the blue color, indicating free dissolved lithium, disappeared. After the addition was complete, ammonium chloride was added to react with any excess lithium metal still present. The mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere during which process the ammonia evaporated. The reaction mixture was then acidified in 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid, and the organic constituents extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extracts were combined, washed with water and dried. Evaporation of the ethyl acetate under reduced pressure yielded 1.4 g of crude dl-trans-3-(1',1'-dimethylheptyl)-6,6a,7,8,10,10a-hexahydro-1-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-9H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-9-one. The crude product was chromatographed over 50 g. of silica gel from benzene solution and the desired product was eluted in 20 ml. fractions with a benzene eluant containing 2 percent ethyl acetate. Fractions 200-240 contained 808 mg. of a white crystalline solid comprising purified dl-trans-3-(1',1'-dimethylheptyl)-6,6a,7,8,10,10a-hexahydro-1-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-9H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-9-one. The purified compound melted at 159°-160°C. after recrystallization from an ethyl acetate-hexane solvent mixture. Rf = 0.45 (silica gel, 20% ethyl acetate:benzene).
