4-tert-Pentylphenol → HCID 59822306, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Stir a mixture of 4-(1,1-dimethyl-propyl)-phenol (1.96 g, 11.9 mmol), N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride (2.94 g, 23.8 mmol) and DABCO (2.82 g, 25.1 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (30 mL) at room temperature for 16 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. Pour reaction onto ice and extract the mixture with EtOAc (3×75 mL). Combine the organic extracts and wash with 0.5 M aqueous HCl. Dry the organic phase over MgSO4 and concentrate in vacuo. Purify the crude mixture by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (4:1) to obtain the desired intermediate as a yellow solid (2.28 g, 76%). MS (ES+) m/z: 252.3 (M+H)+.
