MHz and AV-600 MHz spectrometers. The 1H NMR chemical shifts
were measured relative to CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as the internal reference (CDCl3: δ
= 7.26 ppm; DMSO-d6: δ = 2.50 ppm).
The 13C NMR chemical shifts were given using CDCl3 as the internal standard (CDCl3: δ = 77.16 ppm;
DMSO-d6: δ = 39.52 ppm). High-resolution
mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained with a Waters-Q-TOF-Premier (ESI).
Unless otherwise noted, all reagents were obtained from commercial
suppliers and used without further purification.

by 1H NMR analysis)20 (link) and 2-deuterated
benzo[b]thiophene (>95% deuterium incorporation
by 1H NMR analysis)21 (link) were prepared
according to the literature procedures. Ultradry solvents including N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO),
isopropanol (IPA), 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), and 1,4-dioxane were
purchased from J&K Scientific. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) were dried by refluxing over Na
and freshly distilled prior to use.
