Procedure

To an ice cooled solution of 2-ethyl benzofuran 5.0 g and 5.9 g of o-anisoyl chloride dissolve in 20 ml benzene were added 4.1 ml of SnCl2 dropwise; the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. Then it was poured into water, 30 g, containing 5 ml of conc. HCl. The benzene layer was separated and the solution was extracted with benzene again. The combined benzene layer was washed with a 5% NaHCO3 solution and then with water. After drying and removal of benzene under reduced pressure, the yellowish oil, 2-ethyl-3-(o-anisoyl) benzofuran was obtained. Pyridine-HCl was prepared by the introduction of dried HCl gas to 4.75 g of pyridine and a 50 ml of benzene solution, and then by removing benzene twice.
