Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-bromo-2,2,4,4-tetramethylchroman-8-carboxylic acid (Intermediate 41, 0.3 g, 0.96 mmol) and triethyl amine (0.1 g, 0.96 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was treated with 2,4,6-trichlorobenzoyl chloride (0.23 g, 0.96 mmol) and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 20 minutes. The precipitated solid was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to afford a residue that was dissolved in benzene (3 mL) under argon and treated with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (0.47 g, 3.84 mmol) and 2-methyl-2-propanol (0.14 g, 1.92 mmol). After 18 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with 2N hydrochloric acid, 2N sodium hydroxide and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford a residue that was subjected to flash column chromatography over silica gel (230-400 mesh) using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane as the eluent to afford the title product as a white solid (0.14 g, 40%).
