Procedure

To 12 mL (24 mmol) of 2M allylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran, cooled in an ice bath, was added, with stirring, a solution of 4.95 g (14.98 mmol) of rac-2-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-6-(phenylmethoxy)-2H-1-benzopyran in 60 mL of anhydrous ether. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 6 hr then worked up by being poured into cold, saturated NH4Cl solution and ether extraction. The product (5.4 g of a pale-yellow oil) was dissolved in 40 mL of methanol and 10 mL of ether containing 10 mg of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 21 hr then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on 75 g of silica gel. Elution with 40:1 parts by volume hexane-ether gave 2.88 g (57.2% yield) of rac-3,4-dihydro-6-(phenylmethoxy)-2-(2-propenyl)-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-1-benzopyran as a colorless oil.
