Procedure

A mixture of 6 g of p-[(E)-2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)propenyl]phenol, 4.8 g of 2-chloroethyl methyl sulphide and 10.5 g finely powdered potassium carbonate in 100 ml of dimethylformamide is heated to 100° for 20 hours. The cooled reaction mixture is diluted with water and extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The crystalline residue obtained after drying and evaporating the organic phase is recrystallized from hexane and gives 5.5 g of methyl 2-[p-[(E)-2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)propenyl]phenoxy]ethyl sulphide in colourless crystals, melting point 94°-96°.
