Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5,5-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophene-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (715 mg, 3.0 mmol) in acetic acid (5 mL), bromine (480 mg, 3.0 mmol) is slowly added at rt. Upon completion of the addition, the mixture is heated to 50° C. and stirred for 4 h. The reaction is quenched by adding 1 N aq. NaOH and the mixture is extracted with DCM (3×50 mL). The organic extracts are dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated to provide crude 3-bromo-5,5-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophene-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (774 mg) as a brown oil; 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 4.27 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 2.97 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.26 8s, 2H), 1.51 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 1.33 8t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H), 0.95 (s, 6H).
