460 μl of a 30% solution of sodium methoxide in methanol were added to a solution of 665 μl of tetradecanethiol in a 5 ml methanol/2 ml THF mixture, under an inert atmosphere. The mixture was maintained under stirring for 30 min and then 0.47 g of methyl 7-chloro-3-thia-5-heptynoate in 5 ml of methanol was added, under an inert atmosphere. The mixture was maintained under stirring for 8 hours at room temperature and then the reaction medium was poured over 100 ml of acid water (98 ml of water+2 ml concentrated H2SO4) and then extracted 3 times with ethyl ether. The combined organic phases were washed 3 times with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of NaCl before being dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under vacuum in a rotary evaporator. The wax thus obtained was chromatographed on a silica gel column (CH2Cl2) providing 1.05 g of methyl 3,8-dithia-5-docosynoate in the form of an oil. (Quantitative yield).
