The reaction was allowed to warm to ambient temperature over 16 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated NaHCO3. The organics were washed with saturated NaHCO3, water and saturated brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The product was purified by column chromatography on silica using 100% dichloromethane as eluent. [4-(3-methoxyprop-1-ynyl)benzofuran-7-yl]amine was thus obtained as a yellow/brown gum (70 mg); NMR Spectrum: (DMSOd6) 3.34 (s, 3H), 4.34 (s, 2H), 5.74 (s, 2H), 6.50 (d, 1H), 6.80 (s, 1H), 7.05 (d, 1H), 7.96, s, 1H); Mass Spectrum: M+H+ mass ion not observed.
