Procedure
3-(2-Isopropylphenylthio)propanoic acid from Step 1 (6.85 g, 30 mmol) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL), treated with trifluoroacetic anhydride (12 mL) and stirred at room temperature (64.2 hours). The reaction was concentrated in vacua, and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate, extracted with 5% NaOH, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacua to give a brown oil which was passed through a column of silica gel eluted with 12% ether/hexane to give 8-isopropylthiochroman-4-one as a brown oil (1.05 g, 17%): 1H NMR (CDCl3) 300 MHz 8.01 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H) 7.38 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H) 7.17 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 1H) 3.19 (m, 3H) 2.96 (m, 2H) 1.25 (d, J=7.0 Hz 6H).
