Participants

Reaction Steps

0.617 mM 1,4-naphtoquinone was dissolved in 30 ml of methanol in 100 ml one-neck round flask, and 1.54 mM sodium thiomethoxide was added thereto and stirred overnight. 50 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction three times with 50 ml of chloroform, and an organic layer was dehydrated with an anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the obtained residue was re-crystallized with methanol to produce 2-methylthio-1,4-naphthoquinone that was yellow crystal.
