Reaktionsschritte

Titanium chloride (28 ml) was dropwise added to a dichloromethane (100 ml) solution containing 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (10.0 g, 83.2 mmols) and dichloromethyl methyl ether (11.3 ml, 0.125 mmols), while cooling with ice. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, while still cooling with ice, and then water was added thereto. Dichloromethane was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with a saturated saline solution, then dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified through silica-gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1) to obtain 11.4 g (yield: 92%) of the target compound. This was oily.
