Abstract

I11 IV tric acid caused the nitration of 5-chloro-2-thiophenesulfonyl chloride. The 4-nitro derivative (V) thus produced was readily hydrolyzed by superheated steam in good yields into 3-nitro-2-chlorothiophene (VI). VI was prepared also from IV by hydrolysis and decarboxylation, but with
