Participants

Reaction Steps

1.04 g of Zn dust and 4.17 g of triphenylphosphine are taken up in dichloromethane and 5.27 of tetrabromomethane dissolved in dichloromethane added dropwise under inert gas and with cooling. Following stirring for 24 hours at room temperature 1.4 g of 3-formyl-7-methylbenzo[b]thiophene dissolved in dichloromethane are added dropwise with ice-cooling and stirring continued overnight at room temperature. Pentane is added and the precipitated Ph3PO filtered off. Evaporation of the filtrate under vacuum yields a residue which is chromatographed over silica gel to yield the title compound, M.p.=75°-78°.
