The reduction of 2-bromo- and 3-bromothiophene with calcium powder gives impure thienylcalcium complexes due to interference of various subsequent metalation and calcium-halogen exchange reactions as well as ether degradation. Therefore, calcium-iodine exchange succeeds via the reaction of trimethylsilylmethylcalcium halide with
