Reaction Steps

32 mg of anhydrous sodium hydrogen sulfide was added to a solution of 61 mg of 4-chloro-4-phenylbutanal in 1 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide at a temperature of 0° C. to 10° ° C. and the obtained mixture was then stirred at the same temperature as described above for 1 hour. Thereafter, ethyl acetate and water were added to the reaction mixture, and the water layer was then removed. The organic layer was washed with water, and was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After that, the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=85/15 to 60/40), so as to obtain 37 mg of 5-phenylthiolan-2-ol in the form of a colorless oily product.
