Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of ethyl 3-bromo-5-morpholin-4-ylthiophene-2-carboxylate (0.688 g, 2.15 mmol) in DMF (14 mL, 180 mmol) was added N-bromosuccinimide (0.7648 g, 4.297 mmol) dropwise as a solution in degassed DMF (4.1 mL, 52 mmol). The mixture was wrapped in foil to protect from ambient light, and the reaction was stirred under argon at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched via addition of 10% sodium thiosulfate solution (10 mL) and then diluted with EtOAc (30 mL). The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (eluent: 0-25% EtOAc:hexane) afforded ethyl 3,4-dibromo-5-(morpholin-4-yl)thiophene-2-carboxylate (593 mg, yield 69%). LCMS: (FA) ES+ 398, 400, 402; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 4.26 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.75 (dd, J=5.5, 3.8 Hz, 4H), 3.24-3.10 (m, 4H), 1.27 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H).
