n-Butyl lithium (2.0M in pentane, 0.97 mL, 1.93 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 3,5-dibromo-2-methoxythiophene (Step A, 500 mg, 1.84 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at −78° C. under an atmosphere of N2. The reaction stirred at −78° C. for 1 h prior to addition of methyl iodide (114 μL, 1.84 mmol). The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 20 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc (15 mL0 and H2O (15 mL). The aqueous layer was re-xtracted with ether (2×15 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with H2O (15 mL) and brine (15 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash silica gel chromatography (hexanes) to afford 3-bromo-2-methoxy-5-methylthiophene as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ 6.44 (s, 1H), 3.95 (s, 3H), 2.41 (s, 3H).
