Procedure

20 g of 5-formyl-2,2'-bithiophene was dissolved in 50 ml of methanol, followed by adding NaBH4 and stirring until bubbling stopped. The reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography to determine whether the reaction was completed. After the methanol was removed under reduced pressure and the reaction solution was extracted with dichloromethane, the solution was washed with saturated NaCl solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, condensed and 20.10 g of product (melting point 52°-53° C., 99%) was thus obtained.
