Procedure

To a solution of 7-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-carbaldehyde (1.3 g, 4.7 mmol) in dimethylacetamide (2 mL) was added copper(I) cyanide (0.41 g g, 4.7 mmol). The reaction was refluxed for 18 h, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was washed well with warm ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate layer were concentrated and dried. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 4:1 and 2:1 hexane:ethyl acetate gradient) to afford the desired product (0.5 g, 50%).
