Participants

Reaction Steps

To a nitrogen flushed mixture of 1.415 g (4-methoxyphenyl)(2-(methylthio)phenyl)methanone (C) (5.48 mmol) and 3 g sodium thiolate (26.6 mmol) was added 40 ml anhydrous DMF. The mixture was refluxed under nitrogen. After the mixture turned to black, the reaction was refluxed for two more hours, cooled to RT and quenched with water. The mixture was washed ethyl acetate (2×100 ml). The combined organic was brined, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Flash column (hexane:ethyl acetate 80:20) yield 0.954 g product (4.0 mmol, 73% yield).
