Procedure

To a solution of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene (27.0 g, 100 mmol)in 1.10 L of chloroform at 60° C. was added bromine (15.98 g, 100 mmol) dropwise dissolved in 200 mL of chloroform. After the addition was complete, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, and the solvent removed in vacuo to provide 34.2 g (100%) of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-bromo-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene as a white solid. mp 83°-850 C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ7.70-7.62 (m, 4H), 7.17 (dd, J=8.6, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.09 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H). FD mass spec: 349, 350. Anal. Calcd. for C16Hl3BrO2S: C, 55.03; H, 3.75. Found: C, 54.79; H, 3.76.
