Participants

Reaction Steps

1.9 g of 3-phenyl-3-methyl-2-mercaptobutyric acid was dissolved in 50 ml of acetone, and 1.2 g of potassium hydroxide dissolved in 5 ml of water was added thereto under cooling with ice. 1.5 g of 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-S-triazine dissolved in 20 ml of acetone was added thereto. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. Then, the reaction solution was poured into water and extracted with 50 ml of ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was acidified with a citric acid aqueous solution and extracted with 100 ml of chloroform. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to obtain 2.2 g of the desired product.
