Reaction Steps

(3RS,4RS)-4-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)-7-methoxymethyloxy-3-[4-(methoxymethyloxy)phenyl]-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-benzopyran (260 mg, 0.59 mmol), 1-bromo-4-chlorobutane (0.8 ml, 2.98 mmol) and aqueous 2N-NaOH solution (0.8 ml) were dissolved in acetone (10 ml) and then stirred for 4 hours at 50° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and then water was added thereto. The reaction solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the organic solvent. The concentrate was separated by column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to obtain 300 mg (yield: 96%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
