Diethyl Ether → 3-Phenylquinolin-2-thione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-3-phenylquinoline (3.4 g.) and thiourea (1.2 g.) in ethanol (20 ml.) was refluxed for one hour. The solution was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and diethyl ether (10 ml.) was added. The solid which precipitated was filtered off, dispersed in M-sodium hydroxide (70 ml.), and heated on a steam bath for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was acidified with 2 M-hydrochloric acid. The resulting mixture was filtered, and the solid residue was stirred with hot ethanol (50 ml.) and filtered. There was thus obtained as the solid residue 3-phenylquinolin-2-thione, m.p. 242°-4°.
