Reaction Steps

7.4 g of crude 3-sulphothiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester are dissolved in 50 ml of thionyl chloride and boiled to reflux for 16 hours. The mixture is then evaporated to dryness in vacuo and the remaining bright-yellow oil is brought to crystallisation with petroleum ether. There is obtained 3-chlorosulphonylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester.
