Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-(phenethylthiomethyl)benzoate (1.15 g, 4.02 mmol) in THF (4 mL) and MeOH (4.00 mL) was added 1 N aqueous NaOH solution (6 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was diluted with 1 N HCl solution. The solid was filtered and vacuum dried to give the desired product (1.05 g, 95%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 13.07 (s, 1H), 7.93 (s, 1H), 7.83-7.81 (m, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.45 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.29-7.25 (m, 2H), 7.20-7.17 (m, 3H), 3.84 (s, 2H), 2.91-2.78 (m, 2H), 2.63-2.59 (m, 2H). MS (ESI): 273.1 (M+H)+.
