Procedure

To toluene (25 mL) suspension of 0.16 g of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) were added 0.12 g of triphenylphosphine, 0.01 g of sodium borohydride, 5.79 g of potassium tert-butoxide and 2.92 g of ethyl cyanoacetate, which was then stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. Thereto were added 5.00 g of 5-bromobenzothiophene and 25 mL of toluene, which was then refluxed for 4 hours. Thereto was added 0.14 g of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0), which was then refluxed for 2 hours. Next, to the reaction solution were added 25 mL of ethanol, 2.82 g of sodium hydroxide and 5 mL of water, which was then refluxed for 6 hours. Thereto was added 2.82 g of sodium hydroxide, which was then refluxed for 5 hours. To the reaction mixture were added 15 mL of water and 0.5 g of activated carbon, and insoluble matter was filtered off. The aqueous layer was separated, and to the solution was added 35 mL of ethanol. The pH was adjusted to 2 with 15 mL of hydrochloric acid. Thereto was added 15 mL of water, which was then stirred at 40° C. Thereto was added 30 mL of water, which was stirred. After that, it was cooled. The precipitate was collected by filtration to provide 3.38 g of 2-(1-benzothiophen-5-yl)acetic acid as pale yellow solid form.
