The boron trifluoride catalyzed reaction of 2‐methyl‐2‐(3,4‐dimethoxypbenyl)ethanol and chloropropionaldehyde diethyl acetal yields a mixture of cis and trans 1‐ehloroethyl‐4‐methyl‐6,7‐dimethoxyisochroman. The structure of the trans compound was established by X‐ray analysis. The trans compound equilibrates to a mixture of the cis and trans when exposed to boron trifluoride catalyst.
