Procedure

A mixture of S-t-butyl thiobenzoate (1.94 g, 0.01 mol) and Lawesson's reagent (2.43 g, 0.006 mol) in anhydrous toluene (10 mL) was refluxed for 25 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue subjected to column chromatography (Kieselgel-60, 70-230 mesh, petroleum spirit/diethyl ether 19:1) The title compound was obtained as an oil, 1.37 g (65.5%). 1H-nmr (CDCl3) d (ppm): 1.69 (s, 9H, 3×CH3), 7.36 (m, 2H, meta-ArH), 7.50 (m, 1H, para-ArH) and 7.88 (d, 2H, ortho-ArH).
