Procedure

A solution of 2- phenylthiophene (16.0 g, 0.1 mole) in 100 ml anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) is treated dropwise with a solution of n-butyl lithium (0.11 mole) in hexane (2M solution). Thereafter the mixture is stirred for 1 hr. The resulting black solution is poured onto 50 g of solid CO2 covered with ether. When all the CO2 is evaporated, the mixture is treated with 200 ml of water, acidified with 10% HCI and extracted with ether. The extract is washed with 5% NaOH. The latter washings are cooled and rendered acidic with 20% HCI. The resulting precipitate is collected and recrystallized from 1000 ml CCI4 to give 5-phenyl 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid, mp 180° C, γmax CHCI 1665 cm-1, as yellow green crystals.
