Procedure

To a stirred suspension of 2-nitrodibenzothiophene (2.20 g, 9.61 mmol) in dry THF (100 ml) at −15° C. was slowly added methyl magnesium chloride (3 M solution in THF; 9.6 ml, 29 mmol). After stirring at this temperature for 5.5 h, 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (6.98 g, 30.75 mmol) was added portion wise, keeping the temperature below −10° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted into DCM. The organic layers were further washed with water, dried and purified by chromatography (eluent-50% DCM /isohexane) to give the title compound as a yellow solid. NMR 8.52 (m, 1H), 8.12 (m, 2H), 7.94 (d, 1H), 7.61 (m, 2H), 2.92 (s, 3H).
