Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-Bromomethyl-3-chloro-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3.8 g, 14.1 mmol) and NaHCO3 (20 g, 238 mmol) in DMSO (100 ml) was heated at 115° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was cooled. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with DCM (3×100 mL), washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column (0-30% EtOAc in hexane) to give 1.30 g (45%) product.
