Procedure

2-Thiophenecarboxylic acid (6.4 g, 50 mM) was suspended in acetic anhydride (15 ml) and fuming nitric acid (16 ml) in glacial acetic acid (25 ml) added slowly over 1 hour with stirring, while keeping the temperature of the reaction mixture below 30° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The product was purified by subjecting to chromatography (470 ml) on HP20SS resin using methanol/(water+1% acetic acid): as eluant. The pure title compound was obtained together with a mixture of 4- and 5-nitrothiophene-2-carboxylic acid.
