Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (4.78 g, 0.047 mol) is gradually added to a solution of propanethiol (3.00 g, 0.039 mol) in chloroform (200 ml). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for one hour. This is followed by the addition of carbon disulfide (7.50 g, 0.098 mol) and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for a further two hours. This is followed by the addition of benzyl bromide (8.08 g, 0.047 mol) and the reaction solution is stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. This is followed by the addition of 10% hydrochloric acid (200 ml). The organic phase is separated off and washed with water (3 times 100 ml). The combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent is removed in a high vacuum. The desired product is obtained as a yellowish oil (9.36 g) in a yield of 98%.
