Procedure
To a cooled suspension of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-carboxylic acid (D1) (2 g) in dry diethyl ether (100 ml) was added dropwise under argon, methyllithium (16.2 ml of a 1.5M solution in diethyl ether). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h, added to 5N hydrochloric acid (50 ml) and extracted into ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with potassium carbonate, then water and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to leave the title compound as a plate lemon solid (1.5 g, 76%)
