p-Chlorothiophenol → Methyl alpha-(p-chlorophenylthio)-alpha-[p-(p-chlorophenoxy)phenyl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl α-bromo-α-[p-(p-chlorophenoxy)phenyl]acetate (7.11 g) is reacted with 3.61 g of 4-chlorothiophenol in methanol, as in Example 16, to give a yellow oil which is bulb distilled at 0.01 mm to afford a colorless oil (188° C.) which solidifies to give white crystals, mp 71°-75° C. A portion is recrystallized from hexane to give white needles, mp 74°-75.5° C.
