HCID 159181383-(Dimethoxymethyl)thiophene

Procedure

224 g of 3-thiophenecarbaldehyde and 265 g of methyl orthoformate are dissolved in 200 ml of methanol. One g of strongly acidic ion-exchange resin Amberlite IR-120(H+) [manufactured by Rohm & Haas] is added thereto, and the mixture is refluxed with heating for 2 hours. The resin is separated by filtration, and the filtrate is condensed under reduced pressure. The residue is distilled to give 294 g of 3-dimethoxymethylthiophene.
