Procedure

13 ml (200 mmol) of thionyl chloride are added dropwise, at 0° C., to a solution of 9 g (70 mmol) of 3-thiophenecarboxylic acid and 86 mg (0.7 mmol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine in 100 ml of ethanol. The reaction medium is stirred from 0° C. to room temperature over 48 hours and then evaporated to dryness. The residue obtained is purified by chromatography on a column of silica eluted with a 1/1 heptane/dichloromethane mixture. 10 g (91%) of ethyl thiophene-3-carboxylate are obtained.
