Potassium Carbonate → 1-Bromo-4-(7-bromoheptylthio)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromobenzenethiol (6 g), 1,7-dibromoheptane (16.37 g), and potassium carbonate (8.77 g) in dimethylformanide (30 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 5.5 Hours. The reaction mixture was pulverized with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 1-bromo-4-(7-bromoheptylthio)benzene (7.62 g).
