Acetonitrile → 4-(Heptafluoropropylthio)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 20 ml of an acetonitrile solution of 1.25 g of 4-aminothiophenol and 1.11 g of triethylamine was added 5.91 g of 1-iodoheptafluoro-n-propane. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, diluted with ether, and then washed with aqueous 1N sodium hydroxide solution, purified by silica gel column chromatography using an eluent (development solvent; hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to obtain 1.85 g of the desired product (Yield: 63%).
