Reaction Steps

6-Bromo-thiochromane (1.00 g) was dissolved in THF (15.0 mL), added dropwise with 2.69 mol/L n-butyl lithium/hexane solution (3.24 mL) at −78° C., and stirred for 1 hour at the same temperature. After adding DMF (0.71 mL) at the same temperature, it was stirred for 16 hours while raising the temperature to room temperature. A saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added, and after extraction with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with saturated brine. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residues were purified by silica gel column chromatography (2 to 15% ethyl acetate/hexane) to obtain the title compound (342 mg) as a colorless oil.
