Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-bromo-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (6 g, 29.6 mmol), methyl thioglycolate (2.64 mL, 29.6 mmol), and Na2CO3 (3.14 g, 29.6 mmol) in methanol was heated to reflux for 1 hour, poured into brine, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined extracts were washed with brine and filtered through silica gel to provide the desired product. MS (ESI(−)) m/e 270 (M−H)−.
