benzofuran-4-carboxylic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

A solution of LiOH (1.44 g, 34.3 mmol) in water (20 mL) was added to a solution of 131 (2.02 g, 11.4 mmol) in THF (20mL) and MeOH (20 mL) and the solution was stirred at r.t. for 16 h and then evaporated. The residue was dissolved in water (50 mL) and acidified with cone. HC1 and the precipitate was filtered and dried to give 132 (1.83 g, 99percent). 1H NMR (DMSO-dA solution of LiOH (1.44 g, 34.3 mmol) in water (20 mL) wasadded to a solution of the above ester (2.02 g, 11.4 mmol) in THF(20 mL) and MeOH (20 mL) and the solution was stirred at 20 Cfor 16 h and then evaporated. The residue was dissolved in water(50 mL) and acidified with conc. HCl and the precipitate was filteredand dried to give benzofuran-4-carboxylic acid (1.83 g, 99percent). 1H NMR (DMSO d6) d 13.10 (s, 1H), 8.14 (d, J = 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.85–7.91 (m, 2H), 7.43 (t, J = 7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (dd, J = 2.1, 1.0 Hz, 1H). Found: [MH] = 161.1.A solution of Intermediate 10 in toluene (1 wt in 6.6 vol) was added to a refluxing mixture of p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.03 eq., 0.03 wt) in toluene (3.8 vol) over 43 minutes. The mixture was stirred under reflux for 33 minutes then solvent (1.1 vol) was withdrawn at 130

Uses

4-Benzofurancarboxylic Acid is a benzofuran derivative used in the preparation of dual orexin 1 and orexin 2 receptor antagonist which are useful for the treatment of sleep disorders.
