To this mixture was added (20 g, 0.36 mol) of potassium hydroxide pellets. A total of (82.5 g, 0.36 mol) of 2-bromo-4'-methoxyacetophenone was added in small portions to keep the temperature of the reaction at approximately 25° C. The reaction was allowed to proceed at ambient temperature for three hours. The reaction was terminated by evaporation of the alcohol, which resulted in obtaining a brown oil. The oil was partitioned between 2 L of water and 1.5 L of diethylether. The ether layer was separated and washed with water, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to a solid. The solid was crystallized from a mixture of diethylether:petroleum ether (3:1) to yield 78.5 g of the title compound as a 5 pink crystalline solid. mp 53° C.-54° C. EA calculated for C16H16O3S: C, 66.64; H, 5.59; O, 16.64; S, 11.12. Found: C, 66.55; H, 5.87; O, 16.82; S,10.86.
