Procedure

A suspension of 5-bromo-3-(2H)-benzofuranone (4.26 g) and cyanomethylene triphenylphosphorane (9.06 g) in dry xylene (100 ml) was heated at reflux for 24 h . A further quantity of the phosphorane (450 mg) was added and heating continued for a further period of 12 h. On cooling to ambient temperature the brown coloured suspension was evaporated to dryness in vacuo. Chromatography of the residue using dichloromethane:hexane (1:3) as eluant afforded a cream coloured product. Recrystallization (from ethanol) of the chromatographed material afforded the title compound as cream flakes, m.p. 120°.
