Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(4-flourophenyl)-5-hydroxybenzofuran-3-carboxylate (1 g, 3.5 mmol, 1 eq) in a 1:1 mixture of MeOH/THF at ambient temperature was added 5 eq. of NaOH and heated to 60° C. for 3 h. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and to 0° C. in an ice-water bath, it was acidified slowly with 1.5 N HCl and then concentrated. The mixture with white precipitates was diluted with water and filtered to get the solid. It is further washed with water and dried in vacuum. Yield: 0.9 g (94.6%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 6.82-6.85 (m, 1H), 7.35-7.40 (m, 3H), 7.46-7.49 (d, 1H, J=8.84 Hz), 8.02-8.05 (m, 2H), 9.4 (s, 1H), 13.05 (s, 1H). LCMS: (ES−) m/z=271.1
