Conditions

Temperature: 80 °C

Procedure

A mixture of 5.00 g of methyl 5-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, 2.93 g of potassium carbonate, 20 ml of water and 60 ml of methanol was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from water to obtain 3.74 g of potassium 5-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (hereinafter referred to as “the present compound 6”).
