Procedure

To a mixture of 1 g. (0.0066 mole) of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and 0.53 g. of sodium hydroxide in 100 ml. of ethanol is added 2 g. (0.006 mole) of 5-bromomethyl-2-nitro-3-phenylbenzofuran, and the mixture is heated at its reflux temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is evaporated to provide a residue which is extracted thoroughly with chloroform. The residue is separated from chloroform and dissolved in water. The water is acidified to pH 3. The precipitate is separated by filtration, dissolved in dichloromethane, and the dichloromethane solution is dried. The dichloromethane solution is evaporated to provide a yellow solid which is recrystallized from ethanol to provide 4-[(2-nitro-3-phenylbenzofuran-5-yl)methoxy]phenylacetic acid, m.p. 179°-180° C.
