Ethyl Acetate → HCID 66643951, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-bromo-2,5-dimethylphenyl)methanol (1.6 g, 7.4 mmol) in trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL) was added Tl(OOCF3)3 (4 g, 7.4 mmol) at r.t, then the reaction was stirred at r.t overnight under N2. The mixture was concentrated under pressure. The residue solids, LiCl (0.6 g, 14.9 mmol), MgO (0.6 g, 14.9 mmol) and PdCl2 (0.13 g, 0.74 mmol) in MeOH were stirred under CO at 1 Mpa over night. EtOAc was added to the mixture and filtered. The organic phase was concentrated to afford 5-bromo-4,7-dimethyl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one.
