Reaction Steps

A solution of Oxone® (7.37 g) in water (40 ml) was added to a solution of 7-methoxy-2-methylsulfanylbenzofuran (2.24 g) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The methanol was removed in vacuo and the resulting slurry was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with brine (200 ml) and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo to furnish the title compound as a yellow solid (2.24 g).
