Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-benzofuran-4-carboxylic acid (10 g, 45 mmol) was heated to reflux with sodium hydroxide (16.3 ml of 10N, 163 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) for 2 hr. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, diluted with water and made acidic with 12N HCl. The precipitate was filtered and air dried (8.6 g, 100%).
