Procedure

A mixture of 4-cyano-5-(methylthio)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (2.0 g, 10 mmol), benzyltrimethylamonium chloride (2.25 g, 10 mmol), tertbutyl bromide (54 mL, 480 mmol) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (36 g, 260 mmol) in dimethylacetamide (100 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 6 hours. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (400 mL) and washed with water. Organic layer was dried and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a residue which was purified by chromatography (eluent ethyl acetate/n-hexane 3:1) thus yielding 1.5 g of the title compound.
