Reaction Steps

The 4,4′-diallyl-2,2′-bianisole is added to a mixture of aluminum chloride, thiourea and 1,2-dichloroethane slowly over 3 hours at 50° C. Temperature and stirring is maintained for an additional 3-4 hours. Reaction mix is cooled and added to HCl and phases are separated. The organic layer is added to charcoal, filtered and the solvent distilled, to obtain the title compound.
