Concentrate the reaction mixture under vacuum and then dilute the residue with ice water (20 mL). Acidify the aqueous mixture with conc. HCl solution to pH=1. Extract the resultant mixture with EtOAc (15 mL×3). The combined organic layers are washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporate under vacuum to afford 4-chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid as a white solid (0.94 g, 100%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.10-8.02 (m, 2H), 7.61-7.51 (m, 2H)
