Allyl bromide → HCID 20657683, compound

3-Allylsulfanyl-2-methyl-propanoic acid was prepared as described by Zhou et al. J. Org. Chem. 2004, 69, 7072. An ice-cold mixture of 2-methyl-3-sulfanyl-propanoic acid (5 g, 42 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (3.33 g, 83 mmol) in water (50 mL) was treated with a solution of allyl bromide (5.98 g, 49 mmol) in ethanol (100 mL) over 30 minutes. Ice bath was removed after 45 minutes and after 14 hours at room temperature, volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was cooled in ice, acidified to pH 6 with 1N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried over MgSO4, concentrated under reduced pressure and dried in vacuo at room temperature for 14 hours to leave a clear liquid. Acidification of the aqueous layer to pH 4 afforded an additional 2.7 g of material. Total yield 4.44 g (74%): IR (KBr thin film) 1708 cm−1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 5.83-5.73 (m, 1H), 5.14-5.13 (m, 1H), 5.10-5.09 (m, 1H), 3.15 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 2H), 2.80 (dd, J=13.2, 7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.69 (sextet, J=7.1 Hz, 1H), 2.53 (dd, J=12.8, 6.5 Hz, 1H), 1.28 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 3H); 13C NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 179.01, 131.63, 114.92, 37.38, 32.72, 31.00, 14.19; EIMS m/z 160.
