Procedure

A mixture of 3.6 g of 6,7-dichloro-5-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene, 3.0 g of ethyl bromoacetate, 1.5 g of potassium carbonate and 40 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide is stirred at 70°-80° for 16 hours. The cooled mixture is diluted with ice-water (200 g) and the solid collected by filtration. Recrystallization of the crude product from acetone-hexane gives 3.2 g of ethyl [(6,7-dichlorobenzo[b]thien-5-yl)oxy]acetate as yellowish needles, mp 92°-93°.
