Reaction Steps

1.5 g (4.0 mmol) of 1-[4-(3-mercaptopropylthio)phenyl]-2-dimethylamino-2-benzyl-propan-1-one are dissolved in 100 ml of methanol. To the solution are successively added 0.86 g (4.8 mmol) of methyl 2-(bromomethyl)acrylate and 0.55 g (4.0 mmol) of potassium carbonate, and the resulting reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 10 min. The reaction mixture is added to water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with water, and dried over MgSO4. After distilling off the ethyl acetate, the residue is purified by means of column chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:7) as an eluent, and an oily product is obtained.
