Participants

Reaction Steps

(5-bromo-2-chloro-phenyl)-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)methanol 5c (10.5 g, 30.9 mmol) was dissolved in 100 mL dichloromethane, followed by addition of triethylsilane (14.8 mL, 92.7 mmol) and dropwise addition of boron trifluoride etherate (7.8 mL, 61.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with elution system D to obtain the title compound 5-[(5-bromo-2-chloro-phenyl)methyl]-2,3-dihydrobenzo-furan 5d (10.0 g, pale yellow grease), yield: 100%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.29-7.21 (m, 3H), 7.00 (s, 1H), 6.93 (d, 1H), 6.73 (d, 1H), 4.56 (t, 2H), 3.98 (s, 2H), 3.18 (t, 2H).
