Procedure

To a slurry of potassium carbonate (362 g, 2.62 moles) in propionitrile (1000 ml) under nitrogen, was added 2-mercaptoethanol (184 ml, 2.618 moles) as a solution in propionitrile (750 ml). 2-Fluorobenzaldehyde (250 g, 2.014 moles) was added as a solution in propionitrile (750 ml) and heated at 85° C. for 18 hours. The reaction was cooled to 20° C. and sequentially washed with water (1500 ml), 1M sodium hydroxide solution (500 ml) and water (1000 ml). The final solution was dried by azeotropic distillation to leave the title compound as a clear, yellow solution in propionitrile (4250 ml). A small sample was concentrated for yield calculation (348.7 g, 95%).
