Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran-5-yl methanesulphonate (10 parts) in water (100 parts) containing sodium hydroxide (15 parts) was slowly added acetic anhydride (10 parts) with cooling to keep the temperature below 10° C. An oil separated which solidified on scratching. This was filtered off, washed with water, dried and recrystallised from 90% aqueous ethanol to give 2-acetoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran-5-yl methanesulphonate, melting point 84°-85° C.
