Reaction Steps

Dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added to a reactor containing 6-hydroxybenzothiophene (22, 619 mg, 4.12 mmol), (R/S)-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl methanesulfonate ((R/S)-18a, 1.04 g, 4.95 mmol) and Cs2CO3(1.61 g, 4.95 mmol). The reaction mixture was agitated at 100° C. for 6 hours and then cooled to room temperature. After adding water, extracting with ethyl acetate, washing with saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution, and removing water using sodium sulfate, column chromatography yielded 6-[(R/S)-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyloxy]benzothiophene ((R/S)-25, 1.08 g, 99%) as a liquid.
