The resulting white suspension is stirred for 30 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere then γ-butyrolactone (22.4 g, 0.26 mol) is added. The mixture is warmed to gentle reflux and stirred for 6 hours after which it became a solid mass and is allowed to cool to room temperature and stand overnight. The mixture is dissolved in water (1200 mL) containing 1 N NaOH (100 mL) and is extracted with diethyl ether (2×500 mL). The aqueous layer is acidified with 1N HCl and extracted with diethyl ether (3×500 mL). The organic extracts are washed with brine (300 mL) then dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to afford a white solid which is chromatographed on silica gel (pet-ether/EtOAc, 19:1→9:1) to afford 4-phenylsulfanylbutanoic acid (36.6 g, 79%) as a white solid. TLC analysis [pet-ether/EtOAc, 1:1, Rf (thiophenol)=0.90, Rf (acid)=0.50]. m.p. 73-74° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.95 (quint, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 2.52 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 2.97 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 7.1-7.3 (m, 5H) ppm.
