The known 3-carboxy-8-chloropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine 5-oxide (I) is converted into the corresponding acid chloride (II) upon treatment with SOCl2. Subsequent condensation of acid chloride (II) with 2-thienylmethanol (III) in CHCl3 in the presence of pyridine leads to the title thienylmethyl ester.
