Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(3-methoxycarbonylphenyl)thiophene (1.29 g) in methanol (15 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) was added an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1N, 8.87 ml) followed by stirring for 2 hours at 60° C. To the mixture was added hydrochloric acid (1N, 10 ml). The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to give 2-(3-carboxyphenyl)thiophene (1.13 g, 93.4%).
