Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromo-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-phenylsulfonyl-2H-benzo[b]pyran-4-ol in ethanol is shaken under a pressure of 8 bar of NH3 at 50° in an autoclave for 8 hours. The mixture is cooled and then evaporated to dryness and recrystallized from ethyl acetate. 4-Amino-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-phenylsulfonyl-2H-benzo[b]pyran-3-ol of melting point: 160°-163°C. is obtained and is immediately subjected to acylation with 4-chlorobutyryl chloride. For this purpose, the substance is dissolved together with the acid chloride in CH2Cl2 and stirred in a two-phase mixture with 2N sodium hydroxide solution at room temperature for 24 hours. The usual working up results in 4-(4-chlorobutyrylamino)-3,4-di-hydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-phenylsulfonyl-2H-benzo[b]pyran-4-ol of melting point 155°-157° C. Cyclization to give the title compound is carried out by dissolving the substance in tetrahydrofuran, addition of a stoichiometric amount of 80% NaH suspension in oil and stirring the mixture at room temperature for 24 hours. The final product is identical to the product obtained by process b). Melting point: 200°-201° C. If 4-amino-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-phenylsulfonyl-2H-benzo[b]pyran-3-ol is subjected to racemate resolution, it is possible to obtain from its (+) enantiomer the pure (+) enantiomer from Example 5a with the data indicated there.
