The mixture was then allowed to cool to ambient temperature then an aqueous saturated solution of ammonium chloride (10 mL) was added. The aqueous phase was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (3×7 ml). The organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered and reduced in vacuo to leave an oil. Flash chromatography over silica, eluting with diethyl ether:pentane 2:1 gave thiomethylether (54) as colourless oil (0.152 g, 88%).
