After 20 minutes, the mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of 7-chlorobenzofuran-3-one (5.8 g, 0.0344 mol) in THF (80 mL) was added dropwise over 30 minutes. The cooling bath was removed and stirring was continued at room temperature overnight. H2O (400 mL) and ether were added. The organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous NaCl, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to give a red solid (6.4 g, 97%).
