Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-nonyne (12 g, 47.15 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) was added dropwise n-butyl lithium (25.5ml, 42.43 mmol, 1.66 mole/l in tetrahydrofuran) at −78° C., which was then stirred at −20° C. for 1 hour. Then, to this reaction mixture was added 7-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylthiochroman-4-one (3 g, 9.54 mmol) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran at the same temperature for 30 minutes, and the resulting mixture was stirred at −10° C. for 24 hours. After the reaction was completed, saturated ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1) to stoichiometrically give the title compound (5.40 g) as a colorless oil.
