Reaction Steps

A mixture of 13.0 g (0.034 mole) of 2,7-bis(3-chloropropionyl)thioxanthene, 1 g of potassium iodide, 75 ml of diethylamine and 75 ml of tetrahydrofuran was allowed to stand for 72 hours and filtered. The residue was washed with tetrahydrofuran, evaporated to dryness then dissolved in ethanol.
