Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (3,5-dichlorophenyl)(methyl)sulfane (1.0 g, 5.1 mmol) in THF (15 mL), n-BuLi (1.6 M in THF, 4.8 mL, 7.7 mmol) was added dropwise at −78° C. and stirred for 1 h at the same temperature. A solution of DMF (0.6 mL, 7.7 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was added slowly at −78° C. and stirred for 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl aq. (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (30 mL), brine (30 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 20% EtOAc/hexane as eluent) to afford compound A57-1 (1.4 g, 99%) as colorless oil.
