Reaction Steps

2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)acetyl chloride (3.06 mL, 20.0 mmol) in 60 mL toluene was added to a solution of triethylamine (2.80 mL, 20.1 mmol) and thiophenol (2.04 mL, 20.0 mmol) in 40 mL toluene. Reaction monitoring was accomplished by TLC: iso-hexane/ethyl acetate 25:1, Rf=0.29. Workup yielded 4.99 g (97%) S-phenyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanethioate 3 as crystalline yellow solid.
