p-Chlorothiophenol → HCID 14922885, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 14.45 g quantity of p-chlorothiophenol and 13.8 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate were added to 200 ml of acetonitrile, and 13.45 of 1-chloro-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone was added in small portions to the mixture while stirring the mixture. After stirring the mixture at 70° to 75° C. for 6 hours, the solid separating out was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated to obtain a residue, which was subjected to extraction with benzene. To the extract was added 200 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide solution, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. The benzene layer was separated off, washed with water, then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and distilled in a vacuum to remove the solvent, giving 20.2 g of the above-identified desired compound in the form of a pale yellow oil.
