A well-mixed mixture of phloracetophenone (1 mmol), geranyl bromide (1 mmol), and anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.5 mmol) in dry methanol (3 mL) was refluxed for 8 h. The resultant products were extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried and concentrated. The extract was redissolved in ethyl acetate and purified using flash column chromatography over silica gel, eluted with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate
