Procedure

To a stirred solution of 7.94 g (48.9425 mmol) of 4,4-dimethylchroman in 70 ml of nitromethane was added under argon 4.0 g (50.96 mmol) of acetyl chloride followed by 6.8 g (51 mmol) of aluminum chloride. This was stirred at room temperature for 5.5 hours and then cooled in an ice bath and treated slowly with 70 ml 6N hydrogen chloride. The resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes, then treated with 100 ml ether and the organic layer separated. The organic layer was washed with water, saturated NaHCO3 and saturated NaCl solutions and dried (MgSO4). Solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue purified by flash chromatography (silica; 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes). This was followed by kugelrohr distillation (95°-100° C.; 0.15 mm) to give the title compound as a colorless oil.
