Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the mixture obtained in Step 2 (100 g) in anhydrous ether (430 ml) was added dropwise 1.5 M lithium diisopropylamide mono(tetrahydrofuran) in cyclohexane (430 ml) under nitrogen atmosphere at -70° C. After stirring for 30 minutes, into the solution was bubbled sulfur dioxide for 1 hour with stirring at -60° C. Then the solution was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature and the formed precipitate was separated by filtration to give a mixture of lithium 4-bromobenzo[b]furan-2-sulfinate and lithium 6-bromobenzo[b]furan-2-sulfinate. To the suspension of the products in dichloromethane (2 1) was added N-chlorosuccinimide (96 g) at -50° C. and stirred for 3 hours under ice-cooling. Insoluble matters were filtered off and dichloromethane was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 14.1 g of the objective compound.
