Procedure: Dissolve methyl (4-aminophenyl)acetate (14.9 g, 90.3 mmol) in acetone (300 mL). Add potassium carbonate (13.7 g, 99.3 mmol), potassium iodide (1.47 g, 9.03 mmol) and t-butyl bromoacetate (16 mL, 99.3 mmol). Heat at reflux for 20 hours then remove 200 mL of acetone in vacuo. Dilute the residue with ethyl ether (500 mL), wash with water (2×300 mL) and brine (300 mL). Dry (MgSO4) and evaporate the solvent in vacuo. Purify by flash chromatography to give the title compound. Heat at reflux for 20 hours then remove 200 mL of acetone in vacuo Dilute the residue with ethyl ether (500 mL) wash with water (2×300 mL) and brine (300 mL) Dry (MgSO4) evaporate the solvent in vacuo Purify by flash chromatography

Procedure: To 5-methoxy-3-(1-methylethoxy)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (500 mg, 2.0 mmoles) in 20 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran is added oxalyl chloride (262 μL, 3.0 mmoles) followed by one drop of dimethylformamide. The HCl salt of methyl 4-aminophenylacetate (605 mg, 3.0 mmoles) is added, followed by triethylamine (1.4 mL, 10 mmoles). The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture is partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1N HCl. The organic layer is washed with water, then brine. The organic layer is next dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product is purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a gradient of 1:1 ethyl acetate:hexane to only ethyl acetate to provide 692 mg (84%) of product; mp 111°-113° C. The mixture is partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1N HCl The organic layer is washed with water The organic layer is next dried over magnesium sulfate filtered concentrated in vacuo The crude product is purified by flash chromatography eluting with a gradient of 1:1 ethyl acetate
