Procedure

To 150 ml of acetone were suspended 20 g of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde, 22.9 g of 2-bromo-4-methoxyacetophenone and 27.6 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate. After stirring at room temperature for 4 hours, the resulting reaction solution was concentrated to dryness, and then mixed with water to collect precipitated crystals by filtration. After washing with water and subsequent recrystallization from ethanol, 14.02 g of 5-bromo-2-(4-methoxybenzoyl)benzofuran was obtained in the form of colorless prism crystals.
