TCI Practical Example: Bromination Reaction Using N-Bromosuccinimide
We are proud to present the regioselective bromination reaction of 2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene by using N-bromosuccinimide (= NBS).

Procedure
-
A solution of 2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (500 mg, 3.4 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 mL) was stirred under nitrogen at 0 ˚C. Then NBS (630 mg, 3.5 mmol) was added the solution. The ice bath was removed and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane, Rf = 0.65) to give 3-bromo-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene as a white solid (759 mg, 99% yield).
