Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2,4-dichlorothiophenol (2.0 g, 11.2 mmol) in 25 mL of anhydrous DMF was added potassium carbonate (3.09 g, 22.4 mmol), followed by 2-chlorobenzaldehyde (1.26 mL, 11.3 mmol). The mixture was then heated under nitrogen atmosphere at 70° C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature and partitioned between ether and water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ether once and the combined organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and condensed in vacuo. The crude product was purified via silica gel flash chromatography, eluting with 5-10% ether/hexanes, to give 2.62 g (9.25 mmol, 83%) of the desired aldehyde as a colorless oil, which solidified slowly upon standing at room temperature.
