After stirring for an additional 10 minutes, a slurry of alpha-bromo-p-methoxyacetophenone (2.62 g., 11.4 mmoles) in approximately 5 ml. of absolute ethanol was added over 10 minutes. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for approximately 16 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated to an oil containing solids, triturated with chloroform, salts removed by filtration and reconcentration to an oil (3.6 g.). The oil was chromatographed on 120 g. of silica gel with chloroform as eluant. Product containing fractions were combined and stripped to an oil which crystallized on trituration with cold ether. Filtration gave alpha(4-picolylthio)-p-methoxyacetophenone [2.27 g.; m.p. 64-65° C.; ir (KBr): 3-3.5, 5.95, 6.25, 7.95, 8.55, 12.0 and 12.2,μ mass spectra: m/e calcd: 273, found: 273, 150, 135, 124, 107, 92; pnmr/CDCl3 /TMS/delta: 6.35 (s, 2H), 6.3 (s, 2H), 6.1 (s, 3H), 3.1 (d, 2H), 2.7 (d, 2H), 2.0 (d, 2H), 1.4 (d, 2H)].
