반응 단계

2-(Methoxycarbonyl)phenyl sulfenyl chloride (10 mL 0.29 M solution in 1,2-dichloro-ethane, 2.9 mmol) is added to a solution of 2-methyl-benzo[b]thiophene (445 mg, 3mmol) in 5 mL 1,2-dichloro-ethane. The reaction mixture is cooled to 0° C. Aluminium chloride (400 mg, 3 mmol) is added and the reaction mixture is stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. The reaction is quenched with water. The organic phase is washed with brine, dried with MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate-heptane as eluent. This furnishes 651 mg (69%) of the title compound as an oil.
