To a solution of 2-methoxythiophene (79 mg, 0.69 mmol) in 3.5 mL of 9:1 tetrahydrofuran/hexamethylphosphoramide under argon at −78° C. was added n-butyllithium (0.30 mL, 2.5 M in hexanes) dropwise. After stirring at −78° C. for 20 minutes, dimethylformamide (0.27 mL, 3.5 mmol) was added in a single portion and the reaction mixture allowed to warm to room temperature while stirring, before being poured into 25 mL of 1 N hydrochloric acid. Organics were extracted with ether (2×25 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude residue was subjected to chromatography on silica gel with gradient elution (10-12% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give 5-methoxy-2-thiophenecarbaldehyde (71 mg, 72%). Used without further characterization.
