Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (420 μL, 5.7 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(2-thienyl)propanol (682.0 mg, 4.8 mmol) in THF (3 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours and then concentrated to dryness to afford the title compound as a brown oil. The product was used in the next step without further purification.
