Procedure

A suspension of 1-benzothiophene-3-carbaldehyde (4.9 g, 0.03 mol), malonic acid (6.6 g, 0.06 mol) and piperidine (1 mL) in 100 mL anhydrous pyridine was heated at 110° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was taken up in 100 mL of water and 1 N hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH of this solution to ca. 3. The suspension was filtered and the yellow solid was collected, washed with water (3×50 mL) and concentrated in vacuo to give the indicated product with 95% purity (5.65 g, 91%).
