Procedure
To a stirred solution of 5-bromo-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (24.3 g, 90.3 mmol) in THF (300 mL) at −40° C. is added ethyl magnesium bromide (90.3 mL, 3.0 M). The reaction is allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 2 h before quenched with water and HCl (1.0 M) till pH˜2. The THF is removed in vacuum and the mixture is extracted with EtOAc (200 mL, 100 mL). The organic layer is dried over Na2SO4, concentrated, purified on column chromatography (10-15% EtOAc/Hex), to give the title compound as an oil (22.4 g, 88%)
