반응 단계

To a stirred solution of phosphorus pentasulfide (6.0 g, 13.5 mmol) in dioxane (60 ml) was added formamide (7.2 g, 160 mmol), and the mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature, and the solution was decanted away from solids. To a stirred solution of 2-bromo-1-(4-hydroxy-2-methylphenyl)-1-ethanone from step 1 (2.4 g, 10.5 mmol) in dioxane (20 ml) was added the thioformamide solution, and the mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature, and made basic by addition of 0.5M NaOH aqueous solution. The whole was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:4) to give title compound (1.54 g, 77% yield).
