Upon completion of addition, the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for about 75 minutes. The reaction mixture was then cooled and poured into 400 mL of water that was cooled in an ice bath. The resultant solid was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum, yielding 8.2 grams of 7-aminocarbonyl-6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
