Reaction Steps

In 40 ml of o-dichlorobenzene was dissolved, with heating, 2 g of 2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)-4-[3-carboxy-4-hydroxy-5-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)phenyl]-thiazole. Thereto were added about 10 mg of iodine and 1.5 g of potassium iodide (ground in-a mortar), and the mixture was refluxed for 14 hours with heating. The reaction mixture was mixed with 30 ml of water and phase separation was conducted. The organic layer was mixed with 30 ml of ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed with 20 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried and subjected to distillation to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane) and recrystallized from diisopropyl ether to obtain 1 g of 2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)-4-(2,2-dimethyl-7-carboxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)thiazole as white powdery crystals.
