The reaction mixture was stirred at 85° C. (external temperature) for 4 h. Solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The water layer was separated and acidified with 1N HCl solution and then ethyl acetate was added to it. The organic phase was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to obtain 3-Amino-5-phenyl-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (4.15 g, 88%) as a yellowish solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-D6, 400 MHz): 7.59 (d, 2H), 7.40 (m, 3H), 6.92 (s, 1H).
