Reaction Steps

3-(4-methylsulphonylphenyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiophene from Example 6 (9.3 mg) was dissolved in acetic acid (10 ml) and heated to 90° C. at which time Br2 in acetic acid (1.0 M, 27 μl) was added in one portion. The reaction was stirred for 15 minutes at which time the solvent was removed at reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in a minimum of ethyl acetate and chromatographed on silica, eluting with 2.5% isopropanol in hexane, yielding 3-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-bromothiophene. CI MS (M+H): 423/425.
