Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 1-benzofuran-3-yl-2-bromo-ethanone (Intermediate I1) (commercially available from Maybridge) (2.1 g, 8.8 mmol) in toluene at reflux was treated with tributyltin hydride (2.9 mL, 10.6 mmol) and 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN, catalyst) for 2 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and concentrated onto silica gel under reduced pressure. The product was eluted from a column of silica gel with 5% EtOAc: hexane to give 1-benzofuran-3-yl-ethanone (Intermediate I2) as an oil, 1.45 g (99%).
