Abstract
A new synthesis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug tiaprofenic acid starting from thiophene is described. The sequence involves five steps, and the acylation with benzoyl chloride was catalysed by zinc oxide under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. This method uses a much cheaper starting material and has a higher total yield (78.4%) than other methods. It is suitable for industrial production.
