Reaction Steps

The procedure is as in Example 2 for the preparation of ethyl (phenylthio)acetate starting with ethyl bromoacetate (16.7 g), a 2M ethanolic solution of sodium ethylate (50 cc) and 4-chlorothiophenol (14.5 g). Ethyl (4-chlorophenylthio)acetate (20.7 g) is thereby obtained, and is used in the crude state in the subsequent phases.
