Procedure

A mixture of 2.5 g of 6,7-dichloro-2-cyclopentyl-2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxymethoxybenzo[b]thiophene and 10 ml of glacial acetic acid containing 5 ml of boron trifluoride etherate is warmed on a steam bath for 15 minutes and allowed to stand overnight. The mixture is poured into a chilled solution of dilute sodium hydroxide and the organic material is extracted into ether. Washing with water, followed by drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporation in vacuo, gives 2.0 g of wax-like crystals. Recrystallization from ether-hexane gives 1.8 g of 6,7-dichloro-2-cyclopentyl-5-methoxybenzo-[b]thiophene as fine needles, mp 59.5°-60°.
