Reaction Steps

Using 2-chloro-2',4'-difluoroacetophenone (2.0 g, 0.010 mol), 2-acetoxyethanethiol (J. Chem. Soc., 1952, 817.) (1.5 g, 0.013 mol), potassium carbonate (1.8 g, 0.013 mol) and methanol (50 mol), 2-(2-acetoxyethyl)thio-2',4'-difluoroacetophenone (1.8 g, yield: 62.0%) was obtained as a colorless oil by similar procedures to Example 1.
