Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (0.49 g, 2.62 mmol) and ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate (0.37 ml, 2.88 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was added potassium carbonate (0.90 g, 6.55 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then at 70° C. for 15 hours. The mixture was poured into ice-water, and made pH 4 with 1N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography [hexane:ethyl acetate (5:1)] to give ethyl 6-bromo-2H-thiochromene-3-carboxylate (0.45 g, 58%) as yellow powder, a part of which was recrystallized from ethanol to give pale yellow needles.
