Reaction Steps

This material was prepared from 6-methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran (1.00 g, 6.17 mmole) by treatment with BBr3 in a manner as previously described for 1d to give a colorless oil (690 mg, 75%) which solidified on standing. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ9.32 (1H, s), 7.23 (1H, d, J=8.3 Hz), 6.80 (1H, s), 6.64 (1H, d, J=8.3 Hz), 6.37 (1H, s), 2.35 (3H, s).
