Benzylamine → N-[4-(Methylthio)phenyl]benzenemethanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the general procedure, 4-bromothioanisole (203 mg, 1.0 mmol) was coupled with benzylamine (164 μL, 1.5 mmol). Purification of the crude product by column chromatography on silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate (15:1) as eluent afforded the desired product as a white solid (201 mg, 88% yield). Rf=0.4 (hexane/ethyl acetate=10:1).
