Thiophenol → HCID 13838792, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chlorine gas was passed into a stirred, cooled (0° C.) solution of 4-ethylphenol (30.5g) and thiophenol (22g) in dichloromethane (100ml) for 3 hours. The solution was stirred overnight at room temperature the solvent was distilled off on a rotary evaporator and the residual oil was distilled, the product being in the higher boiling fraction (160°-180° C. at about 0.5 cm Hg). This fraction was chromatographed on a silica column, being eluted with hexane progressively enriched with chloroform to give the title compound (12.5g), as a clear liquid, nD23 =1.6130.
