Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-hexyne (10.8 g, 50.9 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofiuran (100 ml) was added dropwise n-butyl lithium (30.1 ml, 48.9 mmol, 1.63M in tetrahydrofuran) at −78° C., which was then stirred at −20° C. for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture , was then added 7-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylthiochroman-4-one (8.0 g, 25.5 mmol) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran at −78 C for 30 min, 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 sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to give the title compound (12.5 g, yield: 93%).
