Boron tribromide → Benzofuran-5-ol

関与物質

反応手順

To a stirred solution of 5-methoxybenzofuran (1) (0.50 g, 3.38 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL), boron tribromide (16.87 mL, 16.87 mmol, 1M solution in dichloromethane) was added slowly at 0° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C., quenched with aqueous saturated NaHCO3 solution and extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (25 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound (2) as an off white solid (300 mg) which was used in the next step without further purification.
