Procedure

To an ice cold suspension of aluminium chloride (467 mg, 3.5mmoles) in ether (100 mL) was added slowly lithium aluminium hydride (570 mg, 15 mmoles). After stirring for a period of 10 minutes, 2-(p-methoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-propyl-7-chlorobenzofuran (491 mg, 1mmole) in ether (10 mL) was added over a period of 2 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. It was cooled with an ice-bath and ice was added slowly. When the vigorous reaction subsided, the organic layer was separated and the agueous phase was extracted with ether. The organic phases were combined, washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel and eluted with 10% ethyl acetate in hexane to yield 0.30 gm (87%) of 2-(p-methoxybenzoyl)-3-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-propyl-7-chlorobenzofuran, mp. 103-105 C.
