Reaktionsschritte

A mechanically stirred slurry of 5.00 g of thiophene-3,4-dicarboxylic acid (purchased from Aldrich) in 58.2 mL of 2-methyl-1-propanol was treated with 11.0 mL of chlorotrimethylsilane at room temperature. After completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then at 65° C. for one day, quenched with water at 0° C. and extracted with ether. The combined organic phases were washed with saturated water solution of sodium carbonate, brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, concentrated on a rotary evaporator, and distilled in vacuum to give 7.86 g (95%) of the title compound of 99.6% GC-purity (bp 113° C./1 mm Hg; colorless oil).
