Reaction Steps

5,6-Dimethoxy-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (10 g) was suspended in ethanol (80 ml) and the mixture was stirred and heated at reflux for 5 hours. The resultant solution was evaporated to dryness and then crystallised from dichlolormethane:methanol to give 5,6-dimethoxy-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a white solid (9.5 g), m.p. 84°-85° C.
