Reaction Steps

51.9 g (0.21 mol) of 5-bromo-1,2-difluoro-3-prop-2-ynyloxybenzene are heated at 205° C. for 4 h together with 20.7 g (0.14 mol) of caesium fluoride in 300 ml of N,N-diethylaniline. The batch is diluted with MTBE and washed a number of times with 1 N HCl. The solution is dried using sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The residue is purified by column chromatography (SiO2, n-heptane:1-chlorobutane=3:1), giving 4-bromo-6,7-difluoro-2-methylbenzofuran as a yellow solid.
