Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[3-(5-Chloropentyloxy)phenyl]-7-methoxymethyloxy-3-[4-(methoxymethyloxy)phenyl]-2,3-dihydro-4H-benzopyran (283 mg, 0.5 mmol) and sodium iodide (24 mg, 1.6 mmol) were dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone (5 ml) and then refluxed for 12 hours. 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=8:1) to obtain 293 mg (yield: 94%) of the title compound as a yellow oil.
