At −10° C., to a stirred solution of 4-[(2-butyl-benzofuran-3-yl)-hydroxy-methyl]-phenol (2.78 g, 9.39 mmol) in CH3CN was added portionwise triethylsilane (two×1.50 mL, 18.78 mmol total, @ 0.5 h interval). To the reaction was added BF3.Et2O (1.19 mL, 9.39 mmol) and the reaction was stirred for 10 min. The reaction was quenched with sat. aq. KCO3 and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic extracts were washed with brine (3×), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. Purification on silica gel gave 2.35 g (89%) the title compound as a white solid, mp 67-70° C.
