Participants

Reaction Steps

The product compound [2] (0.31-8.02 g, 0.68-17.7 mmol) is dissolved in 3.2-100 ml of dry dichloromethane, and thiophenol (0.15-3.9 g, 1.36-35.4 mmol) and tin tetrachloride (0.35-9.22 g, 1.36-35.4 mmol) are added and the mixture is stirred until reaction is complete. The reaction mixture is diluted and then washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. Concentration results in the crude product compound [3]. Purification takes place by chromatography on silica gel with an ethyl acetate/isohexane gradient (0.27-71.4 g, 0.54-14.2 mmol, about 80%). FAB-MS: M+H+ =504. NMR data consistent with Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 112:3695 (1990) and T. J. Caulfield, Ph.D. Dissertation, the University of Pennsylvania (1991).
