Process for preparation of a benzofuran derivative

An industrially useful process for producing benzofuran derivatives of formula (1) by formylating a compound of formula (2) (where A1 is a protective group), followed by reaction with a compound of formula (4) (where X1 is a halogen atom), then performing a cyclizing reaction and subsequently performing a reaction for hydroxyl group deprotection.

REGIOSPECIFIC AND STEREOSPECIFIC SUBSTITUTION OF HYDROXYL IN ALIPHATIC ALCOHOLS BY HALOGEN

A new system containing triphenylphosphine and trichloro- and tribromoacetic ester makes it possible to substitute the hydroxyl group in alcohols by halogen.Regiospecific and stereospecific substitution of the hydroxyl by the halogen takes place as a result of the reaction of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols and of 2-alkenols, susceptible to isomerization processes, with this system.
