Reaction Steps

Dissolve [5-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)benzofur-7-yl]acetonitrile (3.89 g, 0.015 mol) in methanol (100 mL) and add para-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate (0.288 g, 0.1 equivalent). After 20 minutes extract with ethyl acetate against water, then wash with brine. Concentration in vacuo affords 2.5 g (95.5%) of the title compound as an off-white solid.
