Reaktionsschritte

A 300-ml three-necked flask was charged with 55 ml (55 mmol, 3 equivalents) of a 1 M solution of magnesium methyl bromide (MeMgBr) and 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF), and the mixture was cooled with ice under nitrogen current. To this mixture was dropwise added a solution of 5.0 g (18.4 mmol) of 6-bromo-5,8-dimethylthiochroman-4-one in 15 ml of THF, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and then refluxed for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture was added 5% HCl, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The resultant organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off to give 5.2 g (yield 99%) of 6-bromo-4,5,8-trimethylthiochroman-4-ol.
