Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of N,N-dimethyl-formamide 4.2 g (20 millimoles) of 7,8-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-chromanone are dissolved and to the solution 6.4 g (60 millimoles) of sodium carbonate and 5.3 g (3.9 ml 42 millimoles) of dimethyl sulfate are added under stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred at 120° C. for 5 hours, poured onto 150 g of crushed ice and extracted three times with 50 ml of chloroform each. The organic phase is washed three times with 100 ml of water each, dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent is distilled off. The residue is crystallized from 75% methanol. Thus 4.0 g of the desired compound are obtained, yield 84.6%. Mp.: 75°-76° C.
