Bromine → 2-bromo-4H,5H,6H,7H-thieno(2,3-c)pyridine hydrobromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of bromine (139 mg, 0.87 mmol) in acetic acid (0.5 mL) was added to a solution of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine hydrochloride (150 mg, 0.85 mmol) in acetic acid (3 mL) and the mixture left to stir at ambient temperature for 1.5 h. The resultant precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and left to air dry to afford the title compound as an off-white solid (230 mg, 90%). NMR (DMSO-D6, 300 MHz): 9.19 (s, 2H), 7.09 (s, 1H), 4.29-4.26 (m, 2H), 2.86-2.78 (m, 2H), 2.52-2.48 (m, 2H). LCMS (Method B): RT=1.65 min, M+H+=218/220.
