A solution of commercially available benzo[b]thiophen-2-ylmethanol (123 mg; 0.73 mmol) in anh. DCM (5 ml) was treated at rt with CBr4 (242 mg; 0.73 mmol), and with PPh3 (191 mg; 0.73 mmol). The resulting mixture was further stirred at rt, under nitrogen, for 17 h. Concentration to dryness under reduced pressure, and subsequent purification by FC (DCM) afforded 2-(bromomethyl)benzo[b]thiophene as a yellow/orange oil which was directly used for the next reaction.
