HCID 212607302-(4-Bromothiophen-2-yl)acetic acidYield 96.5%

Procedure

12 ml of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to the 4.94 g (19.8 mmol) of ethyl 4-bromo-2-thiopheneacetate and stirring carried out for 5 hours at 90° C. The reaction liquid was then cooled and extracted with ether. The aqueous layer was neutralized with hydrochloric acid, extracted with ether, then dried and concentrated. 4.24 g (19.1 mmol, 96%) of 4-bromo-2-thiopheneacetic acid was obtained.
