Procedure

To a stirred mixture of ethyl 4-(6-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propylphenoxy)butyrate (1.6 g), potassium iodide (0.5 g) and potassium carbonate (1.45 g) in acetone (30 ml) was added drop wise a solution of 4-(3-bromopropylthio)-2-hydroxy-3-propylphenyl -ethanone (1.9 g) in acetone (10 ml) with heating to reflux. After refluxing six hours the mixture was cooled to room temperature and inorganic materials were separated by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was separated and purified by silica-gel column chromatography (eluting with benzene:ethyl acetate=9:1) to give the title compound as crude crystals (2.1 g, 72.4%) which were recrystallized from ethanol to give colorless crystals, mp 65-66° C.
