[CH2:1]([O:3][C:4]([C:6]1[O:7][C:8]2[CH:14]=[CH:13][C:12]([O:15]C)=[CH:11][C:9]=2[CH:10]=1)=[O:5])[CH3:2].B(Br)(Br)Br>C(Cl)Cl>[CH2:1]([O:3][C:4]([C:6]1[O:7][C:8]2[CH:14]=[CH:13][C:12]([OH:15])=[CH:11][C:9]=2[CH:10]=1)=[O:5])[CH3:2]The above prepared 5-methoxy-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (8.10 g, 36.8 mmol) was dissolved in 250 mL of CH2Cl2, cooled to 0° C., and treated with BBr3 (73.6 mL of 1M solution in CH2Cl2, 2 eq.). After 2 h, the reaction mixture was carefully poured onto crashed ice, twofold extracted with CH2Cl2, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to dryness. Ensuing flash chromatography (SiO2, hexane/AcOEt=8/2) delivered then 5.63 g of the title compound as off-white crystals.
