Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 9,9-bis(2'-chloroethyl)thioxanthene in pyridine (25 ml.) and water (5 ml.) is cooled in an ice/salt bath to -5° to 0° C. and a solution of iodobenzene dichloride (2.7 g.) in dry pyridine (10 ml.) is added slowly during 15 minutes with stirring. Stirring at 0° C. is continued for a further 15 minutes, the reaction mixture is poured into water, acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid and extracted with chloroform. The product is crystallised from cyclohexane to give 9,9-bis(2'-chloroethyl)-thioxanthene 10-oxide, m.p. 126°-127° C.
