Procedure

To a solution of 5.0 g of 2-n-butyl-6,7-dichloro-2,3-dichloro-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene in 25 ml of glacial acetic acid is added 6.5 ml of boron trifluoride etherate, with stirring. The mixture is heated on a steam bath until dissolution occurs and is stirred at room temperature for one hour. A mixture of 20 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide solution and 50 mg of ice is added followed by 50% sodium hydroxide solution to pH 7. The mixture is extracted with 3×100 ml-portions of ether. The ether extracts are washed with water, dried and concentrated to give an oil. The oil is chromatographed on 100 g silica gel column using a 9:1 hexane dichloromethane system as the eluant. Evaporation of the eluant gives 2.3 g of 6,7-dichloro-2-n-butyl-5-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene or an oil.
