Reaction Steps

5Bromo-3-nitrothiophene-2-carbaldehyde (0.5953 g, 2.5012 mmol, prepared according to Sone, C; Matsuki, Y Bull Chem Soc Japan, 1963, 36(5), 618-20.) was dissolved in acetone (5 mL) and Jones Reagent (1.5 mL) was added. The reaction was stirred at RT for 1 h. The reaction was diluted with water (30 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organics were washed With water (4×100 mL), dried over MgSO4 filtered and concentrated to give 0.4993 g (1.9892 mmol, 80%) of the product as a light yellow solid.
