実験手順

A solution of benzofuran-2(3H)-one (20 g) dissolved in DMF (250 mL) was treated with iodomethane (33.4 mL) at 0° C. before adding potassium carbonate (134 g) portionwise over a period of 10 minutes under nitrogen. The resulting suspension was stirred at 25° C. for 3 days. The mixture was filtered and the solids washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was diluted with 2M hydrochloric acid, extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic was dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to afford crude product. The crude product was purified (SiO2 chromatography eluting with 30% dichloromethane in iso-hexane). Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford the subtitle compound (19.70 g).
