Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1.2 g 2-(methylthio)benzoyl chloride (B) and 1.55 g AlCl3 at 0° C. was added slowly 20 ml DCM. The mixture was stirred 5 minutes at ambient temperature before 7.8 g p-xylene was added slowly. The reaction was stirred 30 minutes at ambient temperature before water was added slowly. The mixture was extracted with DCM (2×50 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Flash silica chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate 85:15) afforded 0.758 g product.
