<p>A novel process for preparing a 1,4 benzodioxane derivative shown by the formula (1) which is a useful intermediate of circulatory drugs and drugs for psychoneurosis, characterized in sulfonating a phenoxypropanediol with a sulfonyl halide, eliminating the protective group, and then cyclizing the sulfonated compound by treating with a base followed by, if necessary, further sulfonation. <CHEM> In the above formula, R<1> is H, RSO2, R is alkyl, phenyl which may be substituted with alkyl, R<2>, R<3>, R<4> are H, halogen, OH, nitro, cyano, formyl, COOH, alkoxycarbonyloxy, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, N,N-dialkylamino, alkylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, phenyl which may be substituted by alkyl, etc.22</p> |
