Reaction Steps

Following General Procedure B and using 6-ethynyl-8-hydroxy-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-chroman (Intermediate 19, 0.057 g, 0.25 mmol), methyl-2-(4-iodophenyl)-2-methyl-propionate (Reagent-2, 0.112 g, 0.37 mmol), triethyl amine (3 mL), copper(I)iodide (0.020 g, 0.1 mmol) and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (0.07 g, 0.1 mmol) followed by flash column chromatography over silica gel (230–400 mesh) and preparative normal phase HPLC using 5% ethyl acetate in hexane as the mobile phase, the title compound was obtained as a brown oil (0.035 g, 35%).
