Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To chloroform (100 mL) were added methyl 2-methyl-3-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)acrylate (11.0 g) and thiophenol (6.3 g), and then added dropwise triethylamine (33 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 9 hours. To the reaction mixture were added tert-butyl methyl ether, and then a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, thereby layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried, and then concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1) to obtain methyl 2-methyl-3-(phenylthio)acrylate (6.5 g).
