실험 절차

5-Bromo-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran (4.7 g, 0.017 mole) was heated under reflux with cuprous cyanide (2.7 g, 0.03 mole) in dimethyl formamide (10 ml) as in example 2 for 3 hours. A warm solution of sodium cyanide (5 g) in water (20 ml) was added with stirring and stirring was continued for 1 hour at ambient temperature. The solution was diluted with water and extracted with ether. The extracts were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and run down yielding 3.6 g crude product. Purification was accomplished by silica gel chromatography in 1:4 ether/petroleum ether (b.p. 40°-60° C.). The yield of pure title product was 2.9 g (79%).
