Thiophenol → 3-Chloropropyl phenyl sulfide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzenethiol (0.550 g, 5.00 mmol), 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (106 mg, 5.50 mmol), TEA (1.01 g, 10.0 mmol) and THF (10.0 mL) was stirred for 12 h at 25° C. The resulting crude mixture was diluted with water (40 mL), the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by preparative TLC using hexane:EtOAc (10:1) to give the desired product [(3-chloropropyl)sulfanyl]benzene (1.05 g, 100%).
