Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-fluorobenzoate (390 mg, 2.32 mmol) and isopropylsulfanylsodium (273 mg, 2.78 mmol) in DMF (2.5 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 36 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate before being washed with 1N NaOH and then brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with 50-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give ethyl 4-isopropylsulfanylbenzoate (350 mg).
