R., supra] and paraformaldehyde (2.0 g, 67 mmol) in 45 mL of acetic acid is treated in portions with sodium cyanoborohydride (2.0 g, 32 mmol). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, then diluted cautiously with 250 g of ice and water. Solid sodium carbonate is added until the mixture is slightly basic. After extraction with ethyl acetate, the combined organic layers are washed with brine, then dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), and evaporated to provide methyl 4-chloro-3-(dimethylamino)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate as an oil.
