Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 4-bromo-3-fluorobenzenethiol (Preparation 26, 400 mg, 1.93 mmol), cesium carbonate (691 mg, 2.12 mmol) and bromocyclobutane (287 mg, 2.12 mmol) in DMSO (8 mL) was heated at 70° C. for 19 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into water (30 mL) and extracted with 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane (30 mL), washed with water (30 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. This gave the title compound as a colourless oil 95% yield, 480 mg.
