Procedure

Sodium sulphide nonahydrate (2.40 g, 0.01 mol), benzyl chloride (1.26 g, 0.01 mol), water (3 ml) and compound 1 (0.5 mmol) were stirred at 70°-78° C. for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water and left overnight at room temperature. The white crystals thus obtained were filtered off and dried to give 2.02 g of benzyl sulphide.
