Procedure

Add to 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.74 gm, 8.9 mmol) and 7M ammonia in methanol (100 ml) in a steel bomb a chip of lithium hydroxide (0.1 gm). Seal the bomb and heat to 100° C. for 16 hrs. Cool to room temperature, and concentrate to remove the volatiles. Purify the crude product via flash chromatography (ISCO, silica cartridge, 40 gm, elute with methanol 0-5% in methylene chloride) to provide the title compound (560 mg, 38%) as an off-white solid.
