Procedure

A solution of 7-hydroxy-2-(-4-methoxybenzyl)-3,5,6-trimethylbenzofuran from Step 4 (8.6 g, 29 mmol) in acetone (1.5 L) was added rapidly to a solution of potassium nitrosodisulfonate (Fremy's salt) (25 g, 93 mmol) in 0.055 M KH2PO4 buffer (1.5 L) at room temperature. The reaction was slowly heated to 45° C. over a period of 2 hr. The reaction was then cooled and the quinone was extracted with EtOAc (2x, 500 mL). Evaporation of the organic solvent gave a solid residue which was crystallized and re-crystallized from EtOH, to give the title compound, mp 111°-113° C.
