Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 40 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide were dissolved 5.00 g (22 mmol) of 6,6-difluoro-5-methyl-5-hexenyl methanesulfonate and 4.30 g (24 mmol) of benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylicacid, followed by the addition of 6.00 g (71 mmol) of sodium hydrogencarbonate and stirring at 100° C. for 3 hours. The reaction liquid was then poured in water and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated saline solution in this order, followed by drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentration under reduced pressure. The residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (diisopropyl ether:hexane=1:7) to obtain 5.50 g (yield: 81%) of 6,6-difluoro-5-methyl-5-hexenyl benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate.
