Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared according to the procedure of Example 2 using the mercaptan produced in Example 1 (2.0 g, 0.006 mol), the bromide produced in Example 22 (1.63 g, 0.006 mol) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (2.5 g). The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel using 15% ethyl acetate/hexane as eluent to give 2.78 g (87%) of the product as an oil.
