Reaction Steps

N-Acetyl-2-aminomethyl-3-methylthiophene is dissolved in carbon tetrachloride and treated with an equimolar amount of N-bromosuccinimide and a catalytic amount of dibenzoyl peroxide. The mixture is heated to reflux for 3 hours while irradiating with a 250 watt light. The mixture is cooled and the precipitated succinimide removed by filtration. The filtrate is washed with saturated sodium bisulphite solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to yield the title compound.
