Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(4-(2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile [Aromatic Intermediate 20, step b] (4.20 g) dissolved in ethanol (30 mL) was added to a stirred solution of potassium hydroxide (1.67 g) in water (30 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was partitioned between aqueous brine and ethyl acetate, and the phases separated. The aqueous layer was cooled with ice and acidified by dropwise addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was then extracted with ethyl acetate (×2), the combined organic phases were washed with aqueous brine, dried over sodium sulphate and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to give a yellow solid which was triturated with ether (20 mL) to give the subtitled compound. Yield 2.33 g.
