A dry, 250-ml, three-neck, round-bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, addition funnel and a reflux condenser bearing a nitrogen inlet tube was charged with 4.2 g of sodium and 100 ml of absolute ethanol. To the resulting sodium ethoxide solution was added dropwise a mixture of 21.1 g of methyl thien-2-yl-hydroxyacetate and 22.7 g of m-trifluoromethylphenyl-acetonitrile in 20 ml of ethanol. The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 4-5 hours after which time it was added to 300-400 ml of water and extracted with petroleum ether. The aqueous phase was acidified with aqueous 10 weight percent hydrochloric acid and extracted two times with diethyl ether. The ether extracts were washed twice with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield a thick dark oil. This oil was triturated with 20-30% ether/petroleum ether which afforded 4.9 g of the title compound as a tan powder.
