Procedure

4,5-Dihydro-thieno[2,3-c]pyrrol-6-one (0.365 g, 2.63 mmol) is dissolved in acetonitrile (10 mL), and NBS (0.47 g, 2.63 mmol) is slowly added at −10° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue taken-up in EtOAc and washed with 1M NaOH. The organic phase is dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude is purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 50:50 mixture and then 50:70 petroleum ether-EtOAc. The title compound is isolated (91.1 mg, 16%). HPLC (254 nm): Rt 2.55 min (70.3%), m/z 218/220 (M+H)+.
