Sulfuric acid magnesium salt (1:1) → 3-Bromothieno[2,3-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Bromine (2.08 g, 13 mmol) was dropwise added to a mixture of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine (J-2) (1.35 g, 10 mmol), dipotassium monohydrogen orthophosphate (940 mg, 5.4 mmol), sodium bicarbonate (840 mg 10 mmol), and magnesium sulfate (2.0 g, 16.7 mmol) in chloroform (40 mL) which has been stirred at reflux for 16 h, the resulting mixture was stirred under reflux for 24 h, then filtered and washed with DCM. The filtrate was concentrated, and purified by chromatography. MS (m/z): 214 (M+1)+.
