Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (8.8 mL, 121 mmol) was added slowly to a solution of 4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (5.0 g, 24.2 mmol) in ethanol (30 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was warmed up to 65° C. and stirred for 4 hours. Removal of solvent and excess reagent under vacuum afforded the crude product ethyl 4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate (1015), which was used in the next step without further purification.
