Thiophenol → 4-phenylsulfanyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 70 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF), 3 g of vinylene carbonate and 5.1 g of benzenethiol were dissolved, and then 4.7 g of triethylamine was added. The mixture was refluxed under an argon atmosphere for 4 hours. When the reaction was finished, the solvent was removed through distillation under reduced pressure, and the resulting material was subjected to the column chromatography on silica gel (eluted with 20% hexane/ethylacetate) and purified to obtain a target product, 4-phenylsulfanyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-one.
