Ethanethiol → HCID 14576901, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 2.95 g of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-piperidone, 3 ml of ethanethiol, and 50 ml of methylene chloride was added, under ice-cooling 5.06 g of anhydrous aluminum chloride. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, the mixture was poured into ice-cold water and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried, and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane to give 2.75 g of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-piperidone as colorless needles.
