Abstract

In connection with other work we had occasion to prepare certain thiophene derivatives for comparison with the corresponding thiophene dioxide\. Fager2 has described the preparation of 3, 4-dimethoxythiophene by the reaction of the sodiuni salt obtained from the condensation of ethyl thiodiacetate and ethyl oxalate with methyl sulfate, subsequent hydrolysis with base to give the 3, 4-dimethoxy-2, 5-dicarboxythiophene followed by ...
