20. 3-Monoalkyl-substituted benzofuran-2(3H)-ones are usually synthesized by the metalation of ortho-alkoxy-substituted phenylacetic acids (mainly nitriles or esters), followed by acidic work-up of the resulting reaction products. See, for example: S. A. Shaw, P. Aleman, J. Christy, J. W. Kampf, P. Va, E. Vedejs.J.Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 925. DOI: 10.1021/ja056150x;

26. The reactivity of the intermediate organometal towards aldehydes was briefly investigated. Quenching the reaction mixture with PhCHO (1.2 equiv., -80 C), followed by acidic cyclization of the crude reaction mixture, led to the recovery of 3benzylidenebenzofuran-2(3H)-one, as an 85:15 mixture of (E)/(Z) diastereoisomers, characterized by comparison with literature data. Owing to the possibility to synthesize similar compounds by employing benzofuran-2(3H)-one as a starting material, we do not investigate further on this reactivity. M. Msaddek, M.
