Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-5-propyl-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid (5.0 g, 20.07 mmol) in methanol (100 ml) was added sulfuric acid (5.35 ml, 100 mmol). The resulting solution stirred at 50° C. for 36 h. H2O (50 mL) was added the aqueous phase was washed several times with DCM. The combined organic fractions were washed with saturated NaHCO3, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and used directly without further purification providing methyl 4-bromo-5-propyl-2-thiophenecarboxylate (5.1 g, 18.61 mmol, 93% yield) as a yellow oil: LCMS (ES) m/e 262, 264 (M, M+2)+.
