Procedure

A solution of bromine (0.31 g, 1.95 mmol) in 1.0 ml glacial acetic acid was added to a stirred solution of 5-chlorobenzo[b]thiophene (0.300 g, 1.77 mmol)in glacial acetic acid (1.0 ml) under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was heated to 50° C. for 4 hours, the volatiles removed under reduced pressure, the residue diluted in methylene chloride, washed with aq. sodium bicarbonate and with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Evaporation gave 0.335 g (76%) of a tan solid. mp 85°-86 C., FDMS m/e=249 (M+2).
