Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-[2-hydroxy-3-(o-tolylthio)phenyl]propionic acid (2.0 g) and acetic anhydride (5 ml) was refluxed under heating and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 30 g, benzene) to give 3-methyl-7-(o-tolylthio)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-one (1.4 g).
