Procedure

A solution of 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-5-[(trifluoromethyl)thio]pyrrole (1.94 g, 0.00699 mol) in chloroform is cooled, treated with a solution of bromine (1.16 g, 0.00699 mol) in chloroform, stirred for two hours, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a dark syrup. Flash chromatography of the syrup using silica gel and a 1:10 ethyl acetate/hexanes solution gives the title product as a pink syrup (2.0 g) which is identified by 1HNMR and 13CNMR spectral analyses.
