Reaction Steps

2-Acetyl-5-bromobenzo[b]furan (10.00 g) and hydrazine monohydrate (8.00 g) were stirred in ethylene glycol (60 ml) at 150° C. for 2 hr. After cooling, potassium hydroxide (9.00 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at 150° C. for 2 hr. After cooling, toluene (200 ml) and water (100 ml) were added and the separated toluene layer was washed with 10% aqueous solution (100 ml) of ammonium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give the objective compound (8.30 g).
