Reaction Steps

4-Bromothiophenol (100 g) and tert-butyl 2-bromoisobutyrate (118 g) are dissolved in 1 l of ethanol and treated with 29 g of KOH. The mixture is stirred under reflux for 2 h and cooled, and the KBr is filtered off. The filtrate is concentrated and the residue is recrystallized from n-hexane. This gives 93.6 g of a colourless solid.
