1-ethylsulfanyl-3-fluorobenzene

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Bromine (0.3 ml) was added to a solution of 1-ethylsulfanyl-3-fluoro-benzene (1 g) in chloroform (20 ml) at 0° C. then warmed to RT. After 2 h the mixture was diluted with DCM, washed with aq. sodium thiosulphate solution, dried, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with 10% diethylether/iso-hexane. Yield 1.2 g washed with aq. sodium thiosulphate solution dried evaporated under reduced pressure The residue was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with 10% diethylether/iso-hexane
