To a suspension of 2.64 gms (0.11 mole) of oil free sodium hydride in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was added dropwise a solution of 19.47 gms (0.11 mole) of diethylcyanomethylphosphonate in 75 mL of THF. After the H2 evolution had ceased, a solution of 13.4 g (0.1 mole) of 3-(2H)-benzo[b]furanone in 100 mL of THF was added. The solution was heated at 70° C. for 1.5 hours, cooled, and poured into 500 mL of 5% HCl, and washed with ether. The ether phase was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to give 15.4 g of a dark oil. The product was distilled at 96°-100° C./0.075 mm Hg to give 10.85 g of a yellow oil which crystallized upon standing.
