Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 30 g (0.134 mole) of 6-methoxy-3-phenylbenzofuran in 150 ml of acetic acid is added 30 ml of 47% stabilized hydroiodic acid. The mixture is heated to its reflux temperature and maintained at reflux for seven hours. A precipitate is obtained which is separated by filtration, rinsed with water and dried to provide crude 6-hydroxy-3 -phenylbenzofuran, m.p. 138°-143° as an off-white powder.
