Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-cyano-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-trans-3-hydroxy-4-(4-methoxy-2-oxo-3-pyrrolin-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran (0.7 g), benzyl alcohol (0.92 ml) and methanesulfonic acid (0.01 g) was heated at 80° C. for 3 hours under reduced pressure (40 mbars). After cooling the residue was stirred with diethylether, and the insoluble product filtered off and washed twice with diethylether, to give 6-cyano-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-trans-3-hydroxy-4-(4-benzyloxy-2-oxo-3-pyrrolin-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran, m.p. 248° C.
