1,3-Propanedithiol → HCID 10104703, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-fluorobenzaldehyde (10.03 g, 80.8 mmol, 1.0 eq.) and NBS (2.16 g, 12.1 mmol, 0.2 eq.) in CH2Cl2 (400 mL) was added 1,3-propanedithiol (9.8 mL, 97.6 mmol, 1.2 eq.). After 0.75 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with CH2Cl2 and water, and the layers were separated. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated in vacuo, and triturated with hexanes to give 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dithiane as a white solid (13.55 g, 78% yield).
