Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 21055336, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.2 ml (0.021 mol) of 3-bromo-2-(S)-methyl-1-propanol are introduced into a round-bottomed flask kept under an inert atmosphere. 20 ml of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1N) are added dropwise, followed by 2.3 ml (0.019 mol) of 2-methoxythiophenol. The mixture is brought to 90° C. for 4 hours and is then cooled to ambient temperature. 50 ml of water are then added and the mixture is extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: dichloromethane/methanol=99:1). 4 g (0.019 mol) of the title compound (XXb-1) are recovered in the form of a colorless oil.
