Reaction Steps

1-(7-Hydroxychroman-6-yl)ethanone (3.0 g, 15.6 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (20 ml). Sodium hydride (60% oil base, 686 mg, 1.1 equivalent weight) was added thereto while ice cooling, and then stirred for 10 minutes. 1-Iodopropane (2.92 g, 1.1 equivalent weight) was added to the mixture and then stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction using ethyl acetate. The thus-obtained organic layer was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure, and the residue was then purified using silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:0→0:1). The purified product was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure, giving a white powder of 1-(7-propoxychroman-6-yl)ethanone (4.2 g, yield: quantitative).
