Fiesselmann Thiophene Synthesis Mechanism | Organic Chemistry

The mechanism for a Fiesselmann thiophene synthesis reaction which involves the condensation reaction of thioglycolic acid derivatives with acetylenic esters, which upon treatment with base results in the formation of 3-hydroxy-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid derivatives.
