Procedure

To a mixture of 40 ml of methanol, 5 ml of water 1.1 g (20 millimoles) of potassium hydroxide and 3.8 g (20 millimoles) of 7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-chromanone under stirring 11.6 g (14 ml, 0.2 mole) of propene oxide are added and the reaction mixture is refluxed for 5 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with 200 ml of water and worked up according to Example 12. Thus 4.0 g of the desired compound are obtained, yield 80%. Mp.: 111°-113° C.
