Procedure

A solution of 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran-5-yl methanesulphonate (5 parts) in ether (85 parts) was treated with triethylamine (2.2 parts) and acetic anhydride (2.3 parts) at 10° C. and allowed to stand for 4 hours. The solution was then diluted with light petroleum (80 parts) and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to give an oil which solidified. This was recrystallised from a mixture of chloroform and petroleum to give 2-acetoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran-5-yl methanesulphonate (2.5 parts), melting point 84°-85° C.
