Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromobenzenethiol (50 g) in DMF (500 mL) were added bromocyclopropane (41.6 g), potassium carbonate (54.8 g), and triphenylmethanethiol (1.46 g), followed by stirring at an internal temperature of 80° C. for 24 hours. After cooling to room temperature, water and ethyl acetate were added thereto, and the organic layer was then separated. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 1-bromo-2-(cyclopropylsulfanyl)benzene (49.3 g).
