Following the addition, the bath is replaced with an ice-water bath and the reaction is stirred for 4 hrs at a temperature of 0°-5°. To the mixture is added dropwise solution of 3 ml of freshly distilled proprionaldehyde in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The bath is removed. The reaction mixture is stirred for 20 mins and poured onto cold 10% hydrochloric acid. The mixture is extracted 3 times with ethyl ether. The combined ether extracts are washed, dried and the solvent is removed to give a solid. Recrystallization from ethyl ether and hexane gives 5.9 g of 6,7-dichloro-5-hydroxy-α-ethylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-methanol, mp 145°-145.5°.
