Beta-benzoylacrylic acid → HCID 13476426, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.76 g of 3-benzoylacrylic acid in 30 ml of diethyl ether was added 0.8 ml of thioacetic acid, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. The diethyl ether was removed from the reaction mixture by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a mixture of hexane and dichloromethane as an eluent and recrystallized from a mixture of hexane and diethyl ether to give 2.09 g of 2-acetylthio-3-benzoylpropionic acid.
