Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-chloro-N-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)benzamide (1 g, 3.60 mmol) and Lawesson's reagent (875 mg, 2.16 mmol) in toluene (25 mL) was heated to 110° C. for 16 h. After cooling, toluene was removed in vacuo and the resulting solid was purified by column chromatography eluting using a gradient (hexanes to ethyl acetate/hexanes 30:70 v/v) to afford 503 mg (48%) of the title compound.
