Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of freshly distilled phosphoryl chloride (45 ml, 0.5 mol) and 1-methylimidazole (0.15 ml), is added 4-(methylthio)phenol (14, 0.1 mol) and the solution is heated under reflux for 20 h. The excess of phosphoryl chloride is removed by distillation and the residue distilled under reduced pressure to give the product (11 g, 42% yield); bp 135°-142° C. (2 mm Hg) 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.39 (3H, S, SCH3), 7.22 (4 H, s, phenyl).
