Procedure

To a solution of 2-ethenyl-6-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]methoxy-benzoic acid, methyl ester (0.71 g, 2.18 mmol) in benzene (10 mL) was added thioacetic acid (1.80 mL, 25.2 mmol) followed by AIBN (37 mg, 0.23 mmol). After nitrogen was bubbled through the solution for 30 minutes, the solution was heated at reflux for 4 hours. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature and saturated NaHCO3 (20 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (1:10 EtOAc/hexanes) to give 2-[2-(acetylthio)ethyl]-6-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)-phenyl]methoxy-benzoic acid, methyl ester (0.50 g, 60%) as a clear oil: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ2.34 (s, 3H), 2.85-2.82 (m, 2H), 3.07-3.10 (m, 2H), 3.92 (s, 3H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 5.16 (s, 2H), 6.81 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (t, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 8.04 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H).
