Description

2-Thiophene ethanol is a synthetic compound that reacts with HCl and BF3 to produce 2-thiophene acetic acid. The reaction is carried out in the presence of an acid catalyst. The yield of the reaction depends on the concentration of HCl and BF3, as well as the amount of time allowed for the reaction to occur. The carbonyl group found at C2 in 2-thiophene ethanol can be used as a starting point for introducing other functional groups onto it, such as a chloride group by using ammonolysis. This synthetic route is used in the synthesis of clopidogrel, which is a drug for preventing blood clots.
