The mixture is heated under reflux for 4 hours. After cooling the mixture, the deposited matter is collected by filtration. The deposited matter is added to a mixture of ethyl acetate and water, pH is adjusted to 1.5 with 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid, and the organic layer is separated. The organic layer is washed with water and saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 3.72 g of 2-(2-benzo[b]thiophen-5-ylethoxy)-acetic acid as a colorless crystalline product.
