Procedure

Ethanethiol (10 g, 216 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 2.4 g, 100 mmol) in dry DMF (120 mL) at 0° C. After 1 h, 1,3,5-tribenzyloxybezene (24 g, 60 mmol) was added in 10 batches and the mixture was heated to 150° C. for 1.5 h. After the reaction was cooled, water (500 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (benzene) to give 3,5-dibenzyloxyphenol as white solid (11%) after recrystallization from carbon tetrachloride and product #d as white solid (56%) after recrystallization from EtOAc and hexane. Compound #d was identified by mp 107-109° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.36-7.23 (m, 15H), 6.25 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 6.07 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 4.96 (s, 2H), 4.92 (s, 2H), 3.99 (s, 2H); 13C NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 158.4, 157.9, 154.9, 140.7, 136.7, 136.6, 128.4, 128.2, 128.1, 127.8, 127.5, 127.3, 127.0, 125.6, 108.5, 94.7, 93.3, 70.2, 69.9, 28.3; HRMS (ESI) calcd for C27H24O3Na (M+Na) 419.1623, found 419.1645.
