Procedure

10 g of 2-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)ethanethiol and 5.1 g of 1-chloro-2-propanone were dissolved in 200 ml of 90% ethanol. 2.2 g of sodium hydroxide was added to the solution and the mixture was heated under reflux for 10 min to conduct the reaction. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. 200 ml of ethyl acetate was added thereto to obtain a solution, which was washed with water three times. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off and the residue was purified according to silica gel column chromatography (benzene/ethyl acetate=30:1) to obtain 11.1 g of the intended compound in the form of a colorless oil.
