Procedure

A solution of 2.15 g of N-acetyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-4-amine in 12 ml of acetic acid is stirred and 3.04 g of chromium trioxide in 13.6 ml of acetic anhydride is added in 15 minutes at 10° C. to 15° C. After an hour at 20° C., 20 ml of water is added and the mixture is allowed to stand overnight. Additional water (50 ml) is added, the mixture is saturated with sodium chloride and extracted with trichloromethane (100, 500 and 50 ml volumes). The combined extract is washed with brine and then with water. The water wash is extracted with trichloromethane and the extract is combined with the main trichloromethane extract. Evaporation of the extract affords a yellow-green residue, which after trituration with ether gives 1.32 g of the title compound, m.p. 160° C. to 164° C.
