Reaction Steps

o-Chlorothioanisole (prepared by the procedure of Example 5-A (15.85 g., 0.1 mole) is stirred at reflux in nitrobenzene containing copper powder (100 mg.) and sodium ethoxide (6.8 g., 0.1 mole) for 2 hours. The product is steam distilled and the distillate dried and fractionally distilled under reduced pressure to yield o-ethoxythioanisole.
