Bromine → HCID 19006175, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of bromine (8 g; 50 mM) in 20 mL of glacial acetic acid was added dropwise to a vigorously stirred solution of 2-(3'-bromophenyl)thiophene (12 g; 50 mM) in 80 mL of glacial acetic acid. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux 5 hrs, cooled and poured onto ice. A solid separated which was filtered and washed with ice water, and purified on silica gel using hexane as solvent to give 68% of 2-bromo-5-[3'-bromophenyl]thiophene as an amorphous solid.
