Reaction Steps

1.7 g (10 mmole) 2-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]-1-ethanol, 5.24 g (20 mmole) triphenylphosphine and 5.05 g (20 mmole) 1,1-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine was added to a mixture of 2.47 g (20 mmole) 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde in 40 ml dichloromethane under argon atmosphere. Stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, (more dichloromethane was added after 20 minutes), gave a solid material that was removed by filtration. The filtrate was purified by chromatography on silica gel using dichloromethane as eluent to give 2.3 g (yield 84.4%) of 4-[2-(4-methylmercaptophenyl)ethoxy]benzaldehyde.
