Procedure

In further detail, a compound (XIV) is reacted with a benzoyl chloride in the presence of a Lewis acid (e.g. aluminum chloride or tin tetrachloride) to obtain a compound (XV). Usually, this reaction can be carried out by the use of or without a solvent (e.g. carbon disulfide or nitrobenzene) in a temperature range of room temperature to about 100° C. Then, the compound (XV) is reacted with chloroacetic acid in a temperature range of approximately 80°-130° C. to obtain benzothiophene or a derivative thereof (IIb).
