Mode opératoire

16.4 g of the above 2-bromo-1-(2-hydroxy-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-ethanone was dissolved in 70 ml of methanol. Thereafter, 17.3 g of sodium acetate was added to the obtained solution, and the obtained mixture was then heated to reflux for 5 minutes. After cooling, water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction mixture, and an organic layer was separated. The organic layer was successively washed with water and a saturated saline solution, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was then distilled away under a reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 150 ml of methanol. Thereafter, 6.30 g of sodium borohydride was dividedly added to the obtained solution, and the obtained mixture was stirred at a room temperature for 1 hour. Subsequently, 6 mol/l hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction solution, so that the pH thereof was adjusted to pH 1. The obtained solution was further stirred at a room temperature for 1 hour. This reaction mixture was concentrated under a reduced pressure. Thereafter, water and ethyl acetate were added thereto, and an organic layer was separated. The organic layer was successively washed with water and a saturated saline solution, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was then distilled away under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent:hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1), so as to obtain 1.48 g of a light yellow crystal, 2-(6-methoxy-1-benzofuran-5-yl)-1-ethanol.
