Procedure

Methyl thioglycolate (28.8 mL, 320 mmol) was added under nitrogen to a solution of triethylamine (86.6 mL) in dry NN-dimethylformamide (220 mL) at 80° C. Stirred at 100° C. for 15 mins. A solution of 2,3-difluoro-6-methoxybenzaldehyde (55.1 g, 320 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (80mL) was added and the mixture heated at 130° C. for 3h. Allowed to cool then poured onto ice-water (2L). The resulting yellow solid was filtered, washing with water (2×200 mL). Dried under vacuum over phosphorus pentoxide at room temperature overnight to give the title compound (67.2 g, 87%); δH (300 MHz, CDCl3) 8.20 (1H, d, ArH), 7.06 (1H, t, ArH), 6.68 (1H, m, ArH) and 3.99 (6H, s, OCH3 and CO2CH3).
