Reaktionsschritte

Into a solution of 3-bromobenzo[b]thiophene (40 g, 190 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (140 ml) was added a solution of nitric acid (74 ml, 1760 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (40 mL) over a period of 45 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours before quenching with water. The precipitate was isolated by filtration, washed with water and recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane (1/1, v/v) to yield 3-bromo-2-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene (35 g, 72%) as yellow crystals.
