Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.544 g of rac-6-acetyloxy-2-ethynyl3,4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-1-benzopyran, 0.64 g of 3-bromobenzothiophene, 90 mg of triphenylphosphine, 20 mg of cuprous iodide, 2 ml of triethylamine and 40 ml of dimethylformamide was stirred and degased by a stream of argon for minutes. Palladium acetate, 30 mg, was then added and the mixture was heated at 95° C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and toluene. The organic phase was washed with water, dried and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed over 50 g of silica gel using toluene for elution. The combined clean fractions were crystallized from hexane to give the title compound with m.p. 96°-99°.
