Acetic acid, 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)-, methyl ester → Methyl Benzofuran-3-acetate

참여 물질

반응 단계

A solution of 3-coumaranone (5.0 g, 37 mmol) and methyl(triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate) (13.5 g, 40 mmol) in toluene (70 mL) was heated to reflux for 25 hours. More toluene was added (50 mL), and after a further 5 hours, more methyl(triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate) (0.5 g, 1.5 mmol). After another 19 hours, a further 1.0 g (3.0 mmol) was added, and after a further 21 hours, the solvent was removed in vacuo. Column chromatography (heptane:ethyl acetate 4:1) gave the product as a brown oil, 33 mmol, 89%.
