The synthesis of (+)-(R)-5-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxy-8-methylflavanone is described. A new chromylation method of beta-ketosulfoxide 9 leading to the Michael acceptor 12 has been developed. Dilithium tetrachlorocuprate was shown to be a very efficient catalyst for the conjugate addition reaction of phenyl magnesium bromide to the alpha,beta-unsaturated sulfoxide 12. The instability of the obtained adducts 10 represents a limitation in terms of yield. It was confirmed that the natural flavanone leridol does not possess the structure of title compound 1.
