3a. 5-Ethyl-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid To a solution of 20 g (0.18 mol) of 2-ethylthiophene (Aldrich Chemical Co.) in 150 mL of THF cooled to 0° C. was added 73 mL (0.18 mol) of 2.5M (in hexane) n-butyl lithium, and the solution was stirred at 0° C. for 40 min, then cooled to -15° C., and gaseous CO₂ was bubbled into the mixture. After 40 min, the solution was poured into water and adjusted to pH 14 by addition of 20% NaOH. The solution was washed with ether, which was discarded, and the aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 1 with 6N HCl. This solution was extracted 3* with ethyl acetate, and the extract was dried over MgSO₄ and concentrated to give 28.3 g (99% yield) of the title product. MS 174 (M+H)⁺.
