Ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate (1.5 g, 8.9 mmol) and tert-butylsulfanylsodium (2.00 g, 17.8 mmol) were combined in DMF (10 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 2 hours. A large amount of precipitate formed and an additional 15 mL of DMF was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 20 hours at 80° C. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The organic layer was discarded, and the water layer was made acidic with 4M hydrochloric acid. The water layer was extracted two times with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness to yield 4-(tert-butylthio)benzoic acid as a colorless oil. ESI-MS m/z calc. 210.3, found 211.1 (M+1)+. Retention time: 1.74 minutes (3 min run).
