Procedure

15.5 G. of 4-bromo-3,5-dimethyl-2-methoxymethylthiophene was dissolved in 200 ml. of anhydrous ethyl ether under argon. The resulting solution was cooled to -70° C. and 22 ml. of a 2.4 M solution of n-butyl lithium was slowly added. The reaction mixture was warmed to -30° C. for 10 minutes and then cooled to -70° C. 7.3 G. of dimethylformamide was slowly added and the reaction was warmed to room temperature for 14 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was poured into ice water, stirred for 15 minutes and extracted with ethyl ether. The combined ether extracts were washed with a solution of 5% sodium carbonate, a saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried over sodium, filtered and evaporated to yield 2,4-dimethyl-5-methoxymethylthiophene-3-carboxaldehyde.
