Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-chloromethyl-2-methyl-7-nitrobenzo[b]furan (410 mg) and potassium phthalimide (506 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. Then, the mixture was poured into cold water and the separated solid was collected, washed with water and dried to give 2-methyl-7-nitro-3-phthalimidomethylbenzo[b]furan (585 mg).
