Procedure
20.0 g (80.5 mmol) of 2-(3-fluoro-4-pentylphenyl)thiophene are initially introduced in 200 ml of THF, and 50.0 ml of n-BuLi (79.6 mmol, 15% solution in hexane) are added dropwise to the solution at a temperature in the range 0-5° C. After 1 h at 0° C., the batch is cooled to −70° C., and 4.1 ml (80.0 mmol) of bromine are metered in. When the addition is complete, the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. The batch is diluted with MTBE and washed successively with 2 N HCl, 10% sodium hydrogensulfite solution, sat. sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and sat. sodium chloride solution. The solution is dried using sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The crude product is purified by column chromatography (SiO2, n-heptane). 2-Bromo-5-(3-fluoro-4-pentylphenyl)thiophene is obtained as a yellowish liquid.
