Dimethyl Sulfide → HCID 77230670, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-allyl-4-chloro-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one (80 mg, 0.38 mmol) in MeOH at −78° C. was bubbled ozone through until it turned light blue. After xcess ozone was removed by bubbling nitrogen through the solution, dimethyl sulfide (0.57 mL, 7.7 mmol) was added into the reaction. The solution was allowed to warm to RT. The crude material was purified by MPLC to deliver (4-chloro-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-5-yl)acetaldehyde. LC-MS (IE, m/z): 211 [M+1]+.
