Reaction Steps

Methylthiomethyl 1-naphthylmethyl ether was prepared by the reaction of chloromethyl methyl sulfide with the sodium salt of naphthalene-1-methanol in DME in the presence of sodium iodide as described for analogous reactions by E. J. Corey and M. C. Bock in Tetrahedron letters 38 3269(1975); yield 50%, b.p. 105°-115° C./0.01 mmHg. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ2.17 (Me), 4.70 (CH2S), 5.01 (CH2Naph), 7.1-8.2 (Naph).
