Procedure
In a 20 mL vial was placed 6-bromo-4′-hydroxyspiro[chroman-2,1′-cyclohexan]-4-one (46 mg, 0.148 mmol) and it was azeotroped with acetonitrile (3 mL) The solid was dissolved in acetonitrile (1 mL) To this heterogenous solution was added Ag2O (103 mg, 0.444 mmol) followed by freshly grounded Drierite (160 mg). Then MeI (185 μL, 2.97 mmol) was added, the vial was capped and the reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature. After 2 days stirring the alcohol was totally consumed. The reaction mixture was filtered through a plug of Celite and the cake was rinsed with ethyl acetate three times (2 mL/each). The filtrate was concentrated yielding crude 6-bromo-4′-methoxyspiro[chroman-2,1′-cyclohexan]-4-one (48 mg, 0.148 mmol, 100% yield) which by 1H NMR looked >90% pure.
