Procedure

Methyl-6-butylbenzofuran-2-carboxylate was synthesized as in Example 3.1 using methyl-6-bromobenzofuran-2-carboxylate (195 mg, 0.76 mmol) in place of 5-bromo-2-formylfuran and potassium butyltrifluoroborate (188 mg, 1.15 mmol) in place of hexylboronic acid to give methyl-6-butylbenzofuran-2-carboxylate (118 mg, 67%). Used without further characterization.
