Reaction Steps

1-Chloromethyloxymethyl)naphthalene Sulfuryl chloride (12 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (20 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring to a solution of methylthiomethyl 1-naphthylmethyl ether (12 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (40 ml) at room temperature. After stirring for 30 min the solvent and methanesulfenyl chloride formed in the reaction were distilled off at reduced pressure. The residual material was used for alkylation without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ5.13 (CH2), 5.47 (CH2Cl), 7.2-8.3 (Naph).
