Reaction Steps

4-Hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-(methoxymethoxy)-3-[4-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl]chroman (770 mg, 1.4 mmol), bis-(2-chloroethyl)ether (810 mg, 5.7 mmol), potassium carbonate (782 mg, 5.7 mmol) and 18-crown-6(132 mg, 0.49 mmol) were dissolved in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) under argon atmosphere, which was then stirred at 100° C. for 2.5 hours. The reaction solution was cooled down to normal temperature, water was added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to flash column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to give the title compound (0.71 g, yield 35%) as a red oil.
