Reaction Conditions:

Stage #1: 2-bromothiophenewith n-butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran; for 0.0833333 h;Inert atmosphere;
Stage #2: Dimethyl oxalate in tetrahydrofuran; for 0.666667 h;Inert atmosphere;Reagent/catalyst;Solvent;

Steps:

Lithiation of 2-Bromothiophene: preparation of oxo-acetate (4a,c) and glycolates (1a,b).

General procedure: In a flame-dried round flask, organolithium reagent (0.95 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-bromothiophene 1b (193 mg, 1.0 mmol) in anhydrous THF (15 mL) under N2 at -80 °C. After 20 min, a THF (5.0 mL) solution of oxalate 3 or oxo-acetate 4a-c was added. After the disappearing of the starting thiophene, the reaction was quenched by saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with AcOEt (2×20 mL); the collected organic phases were washed with brine (1×10 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum (RV). The resulting crude was purified by FCC - AcOEt/hexane (1:9) - on silica gel. Yield, physical, spectroscopic and analytical data of products 4a,c, 1a,b are as follows.
