Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To. 3.35 g of dimethylformamide, at 0° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen, added 6.18 g of sulfuryl chloride. The mixture was stirred 15 min and treated with 4.69 g of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran. The mixture was then heated at 100° C. for 1.5 h, cooled to about 40° C., poured onto ice, extracted with CH2Cl2, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate, cooled to 5° C. for 16 h, and the resultant pink crystals collected by vacuum filtration to provide 6.12 g of the title product. TLC: Rf=0.41, 10% ethyl acetate in hexane. (1H)-NMR (CDCl3) consistent with structure.
