Procedure

Tin chloride (14.0 mL, 119.6 mmol) was added dropwise into a cold (−20° C.) solution of 2-benzyl-benzo[b]thiophene (13.4 g, 59.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (150.0 mL). After 1h, to the reaction was added dropwise dichloromethyl methyl ether (119.6 mmol). The mixture was allowed to gradually come to 0° C., and then stirred for 20 hours. The mixture was carefully poured into HCl (2 N) and ice, and extracted with ethyl ether. The ethereal extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give 12.9 g (85%) of the title compound after crystallization from ethyl ether/hexanes, yellow solid mp 86-88° C.; mass spectrum m/z 252 (M+). Anal. Calcd. for C16H12OS: C 76.16; H, 4.79. Found: C, 75.77; H, 4.85.
