Tetrahydrofuran → Methyl 2-(acetylthio)-4-bromobutanoate

Temperature

-20 °C

10.0 g (38.4 mmol) of methyl 2,4-dibromobutanoate in 100 ml of dry THF at −20° C. was added dropwise the mixture of 2.75 ml (38.5 mmol) of thiolacetic acid in 8.5 ml (48.9 mmol) of DIPEA and 50 ml of dry THF in 1.5 hour. After stirring overnight at −20° C. then 0° C. for 2 hours under Ar, the mixture was concentrated, diluted with EtAc/Hexane, washed with 1.0 M NaH2PO4, dried over MgSO4, filtered, evaporated, and SiO2 chromatographic purification (1:12 to 1:10 EtAc/Hexane) to afford 9.5 g (96%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3) 4.38 (1H, t, J=7.1 Hz), 3.74 (s, 3H), 3.40 (m, 2H), 2.57˜2.47 (m, 1H), 2.37 (s, 3H), 2.36˜2.21 (m, 1H); 13C NMR 193.24, 171.36, 53.15, 44.45, 34.67, 30.46, 29.46; MS m/z+276.9 (M+Na), 278.9 (M+2+Na)
