The cooled solution was poured into 0.1 M aqueous sodium cyanide solution (300 mL) and extracted with diethyl ether (4×40 mL). The organic layers were washed with brine (2×40 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvents removed in vacuo. Column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexanes:ethyl acetate 9/1 (v:v), gave isopropyl 4-cyano-5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate (960 mg, 63%) as a yellow crystalline solid 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6; 300 MHz) δ8.01 (s, 1H), 5.09 (septet, 1H, J=6.2 Hz), 2.67 (s, 3H), 1.29 (d, 6H, J=6.2 Hz).
