Procedure

To a solution of 5-chloro-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid (2.0 g, 12.3 mmol) in dry MeOH (75 mL) was added H2SO4 (1 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. for 20 h and was then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in DCM and washed several times with saturated NaHCO3 solution. The organic fraction was dried (Na2SO4), concentrated under vacuum and used directly without further purification 21.3 g, quant.): LC-MS (ES) m/z=177 (M+H)+.
