Procedure

A solution of 8-acetoxy-6-bromo-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl chroman (Intermediate 16, 1.3 g, 3.98 mmol) in methanol was treated with sodium carbonate (0.8 g, 7.95 mmol) and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The volatiles were evaporated in vacuo, the residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford a residue that on flash column chromatography over silica gel (230-400 mesh) using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane as the eluent afforded the title product as an oil (0.95 g, 84%).
