Procedure

To a mixture of 6-methoxy-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (0.024 g; 0.132 mmol) and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride (0.052 g; 0.225 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (1 ml) SnCl4 (0.023 ml) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h at 40° C., quenched with H2O (1 ml), diluted to 15 ml with diethyl ether, washed with 5% NaHCO3 (5 ml), brine (10 ml), dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and filtrate evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2; hexane/ethyl acetate 9:1) to give pure title compound (0.020 g; 41%) as a colourless crystals. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) 2.47 (s, 3H); 3.8 (s, 6H); 3.84 (s, 3H); 3.93 (s, 3H); 6.90 (dd, 1H, J=2.4, 8.89 Hz); 7.1 (s, 2H); 7.24 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz); 7.42 (d, 1H, J=8.89 Hz).
