Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 22932184, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of S-methyl O-benzyl dithiocarbonate (6.90 g) and 3-methylbutan-2-one (3.00 g) in toluene (20 mL) was added dropwise to a suspension of sodium amide (2.71 g) in toluene (60 mL) at 0° C. over a 5-minute period. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and the mixture was acidified by addition of 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid. The resulting mixture was extracted with diethyl ether, and the organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1) to give the title compound (5.90 g).
