Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (0.6 mL, 8.12 mmol) was added slowly to a solution of 5-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-carboxylic acid (667) (1.1 g, 4.06 mmol) in methanol (41 mL). After refluxing for 3 hours the solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain methyl 5-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-carboxylate (668).
