Procedure: A mixture of benzo[b]thiophen-3-one (30 g), ethyl 3-bromopropionate (73 g), potassium carbonate (55 g), potassium iodide (1.3 g) and acetone (600 ml) was refluxed for 18 h. Filtration and removal of solvent in vacuo a red oil which was dissolved in ether (200 ml) and dried over magnesium sulfate. The ether solution was added dropwise to a suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (5 g) in ether (100 ml) followed by reflux for 1 h. Usual work-up gave a viscous oil which was applied to a silica gel column (eluent: isopropyl ether) giving 3-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yloxy)-1-propanol (0.54 g) as an oil. was refluxed for 18 h Filtration and removal of solvent in vacuo a red oil which was dissolved in ether (200 ml) dried over magnesium sulfate The ether solution was added dropwise to a suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (5 g) in ether (100 ml) by reflux for 1 h Usual work-up gave a viscous oil which
