Participants

Reaction Steps

Nitric acid (9 ml) was added to a cooled (ice bath) solution of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-7-carboxylic acid (5.1 g, 31 mmol) in trifluoroacetic acid (45 ml). After 4 hours the mixture was quenched into ice-water (150 ml) and the mixture filtered to give 5-nitro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-7-carboxylic acid, which was washed with water and used crude (wet) in the next stage.
