Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-chloro-1-bromomethyl-dibenzofuran (compound 1b; 7.63 g, 25.9 mmole) in 80 ml of DMF, were added ethyl thioglycolate (2.75 g, 25.94 mmole) and potassium carbonate (4 g, 29 mmole). The mixture was kept at 40-50° C. for 30 minutes. Water (500 mL) was added to give a suspension which was extracted by 2×100 mL dichloromethane, the extracts were washed by water, dried over sodium sulfate, evaporated to give 8.9 g of 2-(7-chlorodibenzofuran-1-ylmethylsulfanyl)acetic acid ethyl ester (compound Ia). This compound is pure enough for the next step without further purification.
