Thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde is an organosulfur compound with the formula C4H3SCHO. It is one of two isomeric thiophenecarboxaldehydes. It is a colorless liquid that often appears amber after storage. It is versatile precursor to many drugs including eprosartan, Azosemide, and Teniposide.

Preparation

[edit]

It can be prepared from thiophene by the Vilsmeier reaction.[1] Alternatively, it is prepared from chloromethylation of thiophene.[2]
