Reaction Steps

Dimethyl thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-5,6-dicarboxylate (3.75 g, 0.0149 mol) is added to a solution of sodium hydroxide (1.8 g, 0.045 mol) in water (20 mL) and the mixture is warmed at 60° C. for 20 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with water, cooled in an ice bath, and acidified by the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid. A precipitate of thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-5,6-dicarboxylic acid is filtered off and dried overnight to give 3.1 g (93%) mp>380° C.
