A solution of methyl 3-chloro-4-methylthiophenecarboxylate (10 g, 53 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (9.4 g, 53 mmol) and azo-bis-(isobutyronitrile) (860 mg, 5.3 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (300 ml) was heated at reflux for 18 h. The mixture was filtered and reduced. Chromatography (10% EtOAc/90% hexanes) afforded methyl 4-bromomethyl-3-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylate (5.5 g, 39%) as a white solid.
