Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of potassium carbonate (18 g) in acetone (140 mL) at ambient temperature was treated with 3-mercaptobenzoic acid (10 g, 64.4 mmol, 1 eq) followed by 4-nitrofluorobenzene (18 g, 127.7 mmol, 2 eq). The resultant mixture was stirred for 18 h and then poured onto saturated sodium bicarbonate and washed with ethyl acetate. The basic aqueous layer was acidified with SN HCl and extracted into ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined organics were dried with anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to give the product as a solid.
