NBS (2.3 g; 13 mmol) and AIBN (2.12 g; 13 mmol) were added in a single portion and the resultant reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 24 hours. Additional NBS (690 mg; 0.3 equiv.) and AIBN (636 mg; 0.3 mmol) were added to push the reaction to completion. Continued to heat for another 4 hours. Cooled to room temperature, filtered and concentrated the mother liquor. Redissolved in minimal DMSO (7 ml) and purified by Gilson HPLC (5-95% ACN/0.1% TFA; run time=35 min). Isolated 1.15 g of desired product in 29% yield MS (ES) MH+: 284, 286, 288 for C7H7BrClNO2S.
