Procedure

7-Hydroxy-2,3-dihydrochromen-4-one (4.47 g, 27.2 mmol) was diluted with tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) followed by the addition of K2CO3 (5.64 g, 40.8 mmol) and MeI (2.55 mL, 40.8 mmol). The reaction was heated at 70° C. for 5 hours. The reaction was allowed to cool and loaded onto a Biotage 40M cartridge running a gradient 5% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 75% to yield the title compound (3.5 g, 72.1% yield).
