Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared according to the procedure in Example 5, step 2 using 3-cyclopentyl-p-anisic acid (5.0 g, 22.7 mmol, RN-59216-82-9), oxalyl chloride (2.4 mL, 27.2 mmol), N,N-dimethylformamide (2 drops) tin(IV) chloride (2.9 mL, 25.0 mmol) and 2-benzyl-2,3-dimethylthiophene (5.1 g, 25.0 mmol). Purification on silica gel eluting 5% EtOAc/pet. ether gave 4.8 g (52%) of the title compound as an amber oil.
