Procedure: To a suspension of sodium hydride (162 mg, 6.74 mmol) in THF (14 mL, 170 mmol) was added 2,2-diethoxyacetamide (949 mg, 6.45 mmol) in portions, followed by 3-bromo-4-(bromomethyl)thiophene (1.50 g, 5.86 mmol) dropwise as a solution in THF (3 mL) and sodium iodide (87.8 mg, 0.586 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 18 h and then concentrated. The residue was then partitioned between water (40 mL) and ethyl acetate (40 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was further extracted with ethyl acetate (2×30 mL). The combined organic fractions were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by ISCO chromatography (5 to 30% ethyl acetate:heptane) afforded 729 mg (35%) of the title compound as a clear, colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.26-7.29 (m, 1 H), 7.23-7.25 (m, 1 H), 6.99 (br. s., 1 H), 4.83 (s, 1 H), 4.44 (dd, J=6.1, 0.8 Hz, 2 H), 3.21-3.98 (m, 4 H), 1.25 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 6 H); MS (ESI): 322.17, 324.15 [M+H]+; HPLC tR=3.26 min (ZQ3, polar—4 min).

Procedure: A mixture of 24.85 g of ethyl diethoxyacetate and 140 ml of concentrated ammonium hydroxide was stirred for 3 hours. The ammonia and H2O were evaporated under reduced pressure on a water bath at 50°-60° leaving a wet solid. The wet solid was dried in a vacuum oven at 53° for 18 hours giving a dark pink solid. The solid was dissolved in CH2Cl2. The solution was filtered to remove a small amount of red insoluble material. The filtrate was concentrated and Skellysolve B was added. Cooling gave 18.0 g (87%) of diethoxyacetamide as orange plates, m.p. 76.5-79°. The ammonia and H2O were evaporated under reduced pressure on a water bath at 50°-60° leaving a wet solid The wet solid was dried in a vacuum oven at 53° for 18 hours giving a dark pink solid The solution was filtered to remove a small amount of red insoluble material The filtrate was concentrated Skellysolve B was added Cooling

After 24 h a 10% aqueous solution of Na3PO4 (200 ml), EA (300 ml) and CH (300 ml) were respectively added. The aqueous layer was washed with EA and united to the organic layer. This was washed with water until clarification, dried and the solvent evaporated under reduce pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (eluting with CH-EA 1:1) to give the title compound as a white solid (10 g). were respectively added The aqueous layer was washed with EA This was washed with water until clarification dried the solvent evaporated The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (eluting with CH-EA 1:1)
