Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3.09 g.), N-bromosuccinimide (2.67 g.) and azobisisobutyronitrile (0.20 g.) in carbon tetrachloride (150 ml.) was heated under reflux for 5 hours. The mixture was then filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to give a solid which was crystallized from methanol to give 5-bromomethylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (4.16 g.), m.p. 108°-110°.
