Reaction Steps
A mixture of 4-methylbenzenethiol (100 g, 0.8 mol) in acetone (1 L) was added iodoethane (190 g, 1.2 mol) and potassium carbonate (220 g, 1.6 mol). The mixture was stirred at 60° C. overnight. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford crude ethyl(p-tolyl)sulfane (120 g, 99%) as a yellow solid, which was used for the next step without further purification.
