Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (11.20 g) was added to S-2-(benzyloxy)ethyl ethanethioate (8.52 g) in methanol (170 mL)/water (85 mL) and the reaction was stirred for 20 min. Water was added and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with aqueous ammonium chloride and dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the subtitle compound (6.64 g).
