4-Hydroxy-6-(4-trifluoromethylphenylthio)2-hexanone → 6-(4-Trifluoromethylphenylthio)-3-hexen-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.5 Gram of 4-hydroxy-6-(4-trifluoromethylphenylthio)-2-hexanone was dissolved in 10 ml of toluene, and 0.38 g of silica gel was added thereto. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 8 hours with stirring, allowed to cool and then treated in the same manner as in Production example 34. Thus, 6-(4-trifluoromethylphenylthio)-3-hexen-2-one was obtained (purity: 77.0%).
