Procedure
A suspension of 3-benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl-acrylic acid: (5.6 g, 0.027 mol) and 10% Pd/C (600 mg) in 1:1 methanol/ethyl acetate (50 mL) was hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus at 50 psi overnight. The mixture was filtered and concentrated to give the crude product without further purification (ca. 100% conversion). Mass spec.: 205(MH)−.
