Procedure

Methyl phenyl sulfoxide (21.644 g, 154.4 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous pyridine (27.4 mL, 2.2 eq) and dry acetonitrile (100 mL). The solution was cooled to −40° C. under an argon atmosphere. A solution of bromine (49.4 g, 2eq) in dry acetonitrile (50 mL) was added slowly, maintaining the same temperature. The mixture was stirred at −40° C. for 1 h and then overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with Na2S2O3 20%, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness.
