Procedure

To a suspension of 2-bromoacetophenone (10 g) and potassium carbonate (7.1 g) in ethanol (150 mL) was added thiophenol (5.2 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hr. The insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, water and saturated brine in this order, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent:hexane-ethyl acetate=15:1) to give the title compound as yellow crystals (yield 11 g, 98%).
