After 30 min. ethylbromoacetate (4.0 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for a further 45 min. and then warmed to 40° C. After 2 hours the suspension was cooled, treated with glacial acetic acid (2 ml) then poured into water (400 ml). The mixture was extracted with diethyl ether (2×100 ml), the organic extracts were combined, washed with water (50 ml), dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in ethanol (25 ml), 5M hydrochloric acid (50 ml) was added and then the solution was heated at reflux for 10 hours. The resultant white suspension was cooled to room temperature and treated dropwise with 10M potassium hydroxide (30 ml). The reaction mixture was then stirred and heated at reflux under an atmosphere of nitrogen. After 1 hour the solution was cooled, diluted with water (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml). The aqueous layer was separated, stirred and acidified with 5M hydrochloric acid (10 ml). The resultant precipitate was filtered off, washed with water and dried at 65° C. under vacuum to give 4-(5,6-dimethoxy-benzo[b]thien-2-yl)-4-oxo-butanoic acid as a pale yellow solid (4.68 g). A portion crystallized from dichloromethane/methanol had m.p. 177°-178° C.
