Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6-methyl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one (1.20 g, 6.25 mmol) and TEA (2.5 g, 25 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) was added MsCl (1.40 g, 12.5 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight, then was washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to dryness.
