2-bromo-4-ethylsulfanyl-1-fluorobenzene

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 3-bromo-4-fluorobenzenethiol (3.89 g, 18.79 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (3.95 mL, 19.73 mmol) in MeOH was stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes. To this solution was added iodoethane (1.803 mL, 22.54 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 6 hours. The solvent was removed, and the residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was extracted with addition ethyl acetate three times. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give the title compound (4.35 g, 18.50 mmol, 98% yield). It was used directly for the next reaction. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 6 hours The solvent was removed the residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate The aqueous layer was extracted with addition ethyl acetate three times The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate filtered concentrated

Procedure: To 2-bromo-4-ethylsulfanyl-1-fluorobenzene (2.2 g, 9.36 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added m-CPBA (6.47 g, 37.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. Aqueous saturated Na2S2O3 (100 mL) was added, and extractive work up with CH2Cl2 gave the title compound (1.5 g, 50%) as a yellow solid which was carried on without purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.15 (dd, J1=6.4 Hz, J2=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.88-7.85 (m, 1H), 7.32 (t, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 3.14 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 1.31 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H).

Procedure: To a mixture of 3-bromo-4-fluorobenzenethiol (2.07 g, 10 mmol) and K2CO3 (4.14 g, 30 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) was added EtI (3.12 g, 20 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h, filtered, and the volatile components were removed under vacuum to give the title compound (2.34 g) as light yellow oil which was carried on without purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): d 7.54 (dd, J1=6.4 Hz, J2=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.26-7.25 (m, 1H), 7.05 (t, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 2.91 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.30 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H). filtered the volatile components were removed under vacuum
