Thiophenol → HCID 13600407, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10-Bromo-1,8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone (3.05 g) was dissolved in dichloromethane (100 ml) and thiophenol (1.1 ml) was added. The red-brown solution became yellow-green, and was then left, with stirring, at room temperature for 5 hours. Removal of the solvent gave a yellow solid which, after recrystallisation from a hexane/chloroform mixture (10:1), afforded 1,8-dihydroxy-10-phenylthio-9-anthrone (2.89 g, 87%) as pale yellow needles, melting point 156°-157° C. (Found: C 71.8, H 4.2, S 9.95; C20H14O3S requires C 71.85, H 4.2, S 9.6%.)
