Procedure

Formic acid (40 mL) was added to acetic anhydride (60 mL) while cooling in an ice bath. Solid 3-amino-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid methyl ester (77, 10.3 g, 66 mmol) was added to the cold solution in small portions. The cooling bath was removed and the resulting suspension was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (100 mL) and the solid product collected by vacuum filtration to yield 3-(formylamino)-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid methyl ester (10.3 g, 85% yield) as a white solid.
