Procedure

A solution of 3-bromomethyl-5-chlorobenzothiophene (2.5 g, 9.56 mmol) and potassium acetate (1.96 g, 20 mmol) in 1M NaOH (40 mL) and dioxane (40 mL) was heated to reflux for 24 hours, adjusted to pH<7with 1M HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined extracts were washed with brine, concentrated, and purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with 50% ethyl acetate/hexanes to provide the desired product.
