Vorschrift

To a solution of 2-[(3-methyl-4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]-6-hydroxy-3(2H)-benzofuranone 0.5 g, potassium carbonate 0.61 g and dimethylformamide 5 ml, 2-bromopropane 0.306 g was added. After the mixture was refluxed for 2.5 hours, water 50 ml was added. The resulting compound was extracted with ethyl acetate 50 ml twice. The ethyl acetate solution was dehydrated with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was fractionated by silica gel column chromatography (silica gel: 50 g, eluted with solvent 500 ml of hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) and the fraction was concentrated to dryness at a temperature of 40° C. under reduced pressure to obtain crystals. The crystals were dissolved in ethyl acetate 2 ml and hexane 5 ml, and the solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for four hours. The precipitated crystals were filtered and dried over phosphorous pentoxide at a temperature of 60° C. for four hours under reduced pressure to obtain the desired compound 275.1 mg.
