A mixture of 3-formyl and 3-acetoxymethyl derivatives is formed in the oxidation of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-7-ethylbenzofuran with selenium dioxide. Reduction with lithium aluminum hydride gives 2,3-dihydroxymethyl derivatives, which are converted to 2,3-diformyl derivatives by successive oxidation. A number of derivatives of 3-methyl-7-ethylbenzofurancarboxylic acid were obtained. The PMR spectra of solutions of the compounds in CDCl/sub 3/ were recorded with a Tesla B-487 spectrometer (80 Hz) with hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) as the internal standard. The IR spectra of KBr pellets of the compounds were obtained with a UR-10 spectrometer.
