Potassium Carbonate → Diethyl 4-[[(3-phenoxypropyl)thio]methyl]-1,3-oxathiolane-2,2-dipropanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of Example 1 (2.0 g, 0.006 mol) and 3-phenoxy-1-bromopropane (1.3 g, 0.006 mol) were dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone (20 ml). Anhydrous potassium carbonate (2.5 g) was added and the reaction was run and worked up as described in the procedure of Example 2. Chromotography of the resulting oil on silica gel using 15% ethyl acetate/hexane as eluent gave 2.70 g (96%) of the title compound as an oil.
