Procedure

To a solution of 2-cyanoacetic acid (13 g, 50 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added dropwise i-PrMgCl (16 g, 250 mmol) at −78° C. for 1 h. A solution of 4-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-4-oxobutanoic acid (8A) and CDI (12 g, 74 mmol) in THF was added dropwise at −78° C. and the resultant mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h and at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride (200 mL). The organic phase was separated, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE:EA=5:1) to afford 8B as a black oil (9.7 g, 69%).
