Water → 1-Bromo-2-chloro-4-methylsulfanyl-benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-bromo-2-chloro-4-fluorobenzene (7, 0.50 g, 2.39 mmol) and sodium thiomethoxide (0.17 g, 2.42 mmol) in DMSO (2.5 mL) was stirred at 100° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was added to 20 mL water with stirring, the aqueous mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The title compound (0.62 g) was obtained as a colorless oil and was used in the next step without further purification.
