Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-[4-(2-Isopropyl-phenoxy)-benzylidene]-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-one (0.4 g, 1.12 mmol) in Ethanol (14 mL) was added CH3I (0.32 g, 2.25 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (0.17 g, 1.35 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. It was then added water (40 mL) and the slurry was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solid was filtered, washed with water to yield the 5-[4-(2-Isopropyl-phenoxy)-benzylidene]-2-methylsulfanyl-thiazol-4-one as a yellow solid (0.42 g, 94%)
