Participants

Reaction Steps

Bromine (10.0 mL, 195 mmol) was added to a solution of acetic acid (150 mL) containing 2,2,6,7-tetramethyl-1-benzofuran-3(2H)-one (26.4 g, 139 mmol) synthesized in Reference Example 17, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After that, the reaction solution was poured into 5% aqueous solution of sodium sulfite. The generated crystals were collected by filtration, and recrystallized from methanol to give 32.8 g of the title compound (yield: 88%).
