Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methylthiophenol (0.85 g) in DMF (10 mL) was added 60% sodium hydride (81 mg) under a nitrogen atmosphere under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then was added dropwise to a solution of N-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(phenylsulfonyl)acrylamide (0.85 g) in DMF (10 mL) under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, alkalinized by addition of a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and then extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (100 mL). The organic layer was washed with water and then a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to obtain N-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(3-methylphenylthio)acrylamide (0.45 g) as a white crystal.
