Reaction Steps

Example 3 is repeated except that 2.53 g (10 mmol) of ethyl 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate are reacted with 0.77 g (11 mmol) of sodium thiomethoxide in 15 ml of DMF. 2.5 g of ethyl 2-methylmercapto-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate of high purity are obtained. It is therefore not necessary to purify by distillation.
