Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid → HCID 68107696, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-hydroxy-2-(2-methylallyl)-4-nitro-benzoate 4b (2.58 g, 10.30 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL 1,2-dichloroethane followed by the addition of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (77 mg, 0.50 mmol). The reaction solution was stirred for 2 hours and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound methyl 2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-3H-benzofuran-4-carboxylate 4c (0.83 g, yield: 32.1%) as a yellow solid.
