Procedure
To a cooled solution of Compound 1a (2-Benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-ethyl) -dimethyl-amine (39 mmol) in chloroform (500 mL) was added Br2 (43 mmol) dropwise. The mixture was stirred overnight at RT and subsequently washed with sat. NaHCO3 (3×) and brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica gel column chromatography in EtOAc to afford [2-(3-Bromo-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-ethyl]-dimethyl-amine, Compound 2a, as an oil (9.6 g, 86%); MS (MH+) 283.9.
