Participants

Reaction Steps

1.58 g of 4-(4-cyano-2-methoxyphenyl)-2 2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carbonitrile and 1.05 g of sodium methanethiolate were heated at 100° C. for 20 minutes in 15 ml of dimethylformamide. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and then poured into water and diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was acidified with 2M aqueous hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed three times with water, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (2:3) for the elution. After recrystallization of the product from toluene there were obtained 1,1 g of 4-(5-cyano-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carbonitrile of melting point 213°-215° C.
