Procedure

K2CO3 (1.23 g, 8.92 mmol) was added to a mixture of methyl 4-sulfanylbenzoate (1.00 g, 5.95 mmol), 1-bromo-2-methyl-propane (970 μL, 8.92 mmol), and DMF (10 mL) at rt. The mixture was allowed to stir for 4 h at rt before the solids were filtered off. The solids were washed with ethyl acetate, and then were discarded. The combined filtrates were partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give methyl 4-(isobutylthio)benzoate (82%) as a clear oil. ESI-MS m/z calc. 224.1, found 225.2 (M+1)+. Retention time: 1.59 minutes (3 min run).
