HCID 684539433-Chloro-5-methyl-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-benzo[b]thiopheneYield 56%

Procedure

To a solution of 5-methyl-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-benzo[b]thiophene (184 mg, 0.5 mmol) in CHCl3 (2.5 mL) is added SO2Cl2 (44 μL, 1.1 eq.). The mixture is heated to reflux overnight (about 14 hours). All the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The residue is extracted with CH2Cl2 (50 mL), washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give an oil. The mixture is purified by column chromatography (EtOAc/Hexane, gradient) to give 112 mg of 3-chloro-5-methyl-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-benzo[b]thiophene in 56% yield.
