Thiophenol → Diphenyl sulfide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The general procedure was used to convert iodobenzene and thiophenol to the title product. Purification by flash chromatography (hexane as the eluent) gave the analytically pure product as a clear oil (360 mg, 98% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.48–7.44 (m, 4H; Ha, Ha′, Hd, Hd′), 7.42–7.39 (m, 4H; Hb, Hb′, He, He′), 7.37–7.31 (m, 2H; Hc, Hc′). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 135.70 (C1), 130.94 (C2), 129.10 (C3), 126.94 (C4). Anal. Calcd. for C12H10S: C, 77.37; H, 5.41; S, 17.21; Found C, 77.50; H, 5.45; S, 17.00.
