Reaction Steps

Industrial application of this last reaction step involves difficulties, because 2-n-butyl-3-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-5-nitro-benzofuran (X) is mutagenic, and aluminum chloride is harmful for the health. The resulting 2-n-butyl-3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)-5-nitro-benzofuran (XI) on reaction with dibutylamino-propylchloride furnishes 2-n-butyl-3-[4-(3-dibutylamino-propoxy)benzoyl]-5-nitro-benzofuran (XII)
