Procedure

To a solution of benzo[b]thiophene-7-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.0 g, 48 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) and water (10 mL) is added sodium hydroxide (5 g, excess). The solution is stirred at room temperature for 30 min; at which point all the ester has been consumed. The reaction mixture is adjusted to pH 1 by adding 6M HCl solution, and extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers are filtered through a silica plug to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (505.2 mg, 59%).
