Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure of Example 11, Step 6, 0.666 g (2.89 mmol) 3-methyl-5-(1-methyltetrazol-5-yl)benzo[b]thiophene was reacted with 0.515 g (2.89 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide and 38.1 mg of benzoyl peroxide in 30 ml of carbon-tetrachloride. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and chromatographed on flash silica, eluting with 0-3% methanol/dichloromethane to give 0.532 g of crude 3-bromo-5-(1-methyltetrazol-5-yl)benzo[b]thiophene.
