Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(p-fluorobenzoyl)-3-methyl-5-allyloxybenzofuran (2.77 gm; 9.2 mmoles) in ortho-dichlorobenzene (15 mL) was refluxed under nitrogen for a period of 4 hours. On cooling, the reaction product crystallized. Some hexane was added and the crystals were filtered, washed with hexane and air-dried to yield 2.1 gm (76%) of 2-(p-fluorobenzoyl)-3-methyl-4-allyl-5-hydroxybenzofuran, mp. 164°-166° C.
