Procedure

This material was prepared from 6-hydroxy-2-methylbenzofuran (654 mg, 4.41 mmole) by treatment with acetyl chloride (0.41 ml, 5.74 mmole) and triethylamine (0.74 ml, 5.30 mmole) in a manner as previously described for 8b to give the desired product as an oil (850 mg, ˜quant). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.41 (1H, d, J=8.3 Hz), 7.13 (1H, s), 6.88 (1H, dd, J=8.3, 1.9 Hz), 6.32 (1H, s), 2.42 (3H, s), 2.30 (3H, s).
