Reaction Steps

3-(2,4-Dichlorobenzoyl)-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-methylbenzo[b]furan (0.84 g, 2.31 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) and a solution (1.0 M, 5 ml, 5 mmol) of a borane-tetrahydrofuran complex in tetrahydrofuran was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and then at 50° C. for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to the residue. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The desiccant was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the objective compound (0.8 g) as a colorless oil. This crude product was used in the next reaction as it was.
