Reaction Steps

10 g of 5-acetyl-6-hydroxy-4,7-dimethoxybenzofuran in 100 ml of methanol are hydrogenated using 2 g of Pd/C (10%) at room temperature and under slightly superatmospheric pressure. When the absorption of hydrogen is complete, the mixture is filtered and the solvent is distilled off. 9.7 g of the desired product of melting point 100°-101° C. are obtained.
