Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-fluorobenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid (56 g) and saturated etheral solution of hydrochloric gas (300 mL) in methanol (600 mL) was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. Further etheral HCl was added (300 mL) followed by stirring for 24 h. Concentration in vacuo gave a dark crystalline material, methyl 5-fluorobenzofuran-3-carboxylate (58 g).
