(0.14 mol.) of 2-benzoyl-5-bromobenzofuran and 35 ml. of 98% hydrazine in 70 ml. of diethylene glycol is warmed for a few minutes on a steam bath. Then 23.3 g. of potassium hydroxide is added and the reaction mixture is refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling, water is added to the mixture and the resulting aqueous solution is extracted with benzene. The extract is washed with water, 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid and water, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to yield 2-benzyl-5-bromobenzofuran.
