Participants

Reaction Steps

This solid was dissolved in ethanol and treated with first excess of acetic anhydride, and then, with stirring, with dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide solution until strongly alkaline. After about 10 minutes, the reaction was treated with water to faint turbidity and left to stand. Platelets of the product 4-(4-acetamidophenoxy)-2-methylphenyl methyl sulphide, come out of solution slowly, melting point 99.6° to 101° C. On recrystallisation from ethanol-water, analytical samples were obtained melting between 101.4° and 102.1° C.
