Reaction Steps

Acetylation of thiophene by acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride in the presence of various catalysts (U.S. Pat. No. 2,458,514) to obtain acetylthiophene or aceto-2 thienone or thienyl-2 methylketone and conversion of this methylketone into thienyl-2 acetamide or thienyl-2 thioacetamide by a WILLGERODT reaction, then hydrolysis of the amide (German Pat. No. 832 755).
