Allyl bromide → 2-(o-Tolylthio)-6-allylphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(o-tolylthio)phenol (32.7 g), allyl bromide (27.5 g) and dried potassium carbonate (42 g) in methyl isobutyl ketone (400 ml) was refluxed under heating for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was treated in the same manner as Example 21-(1) to give oily 2-(o-tolylthio)-6-allylphenol (24.3 g), bp. 150°-162° C./0.7-0.8 mmHg.
