ClCCl.[O:4]1[C:8]2[CH:9]=[CH:10][CH:11]=[CH:12][C:7]=2[CH2:6][CH2:5]1.[CH3:13][O:14]C(Cl)Cl>[Cl-].[Ti+4].[Cl-].[Cl-].[Cl-].O>[O:4]1[C:8]2[CH:9]=[CH:10][C:11]([CH:13]=[O:14])=[CH:12][C:7]=2[CH2:6][CH2:5]1Titanium 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.
