Sodium ethanethiolate → HCID 22905871, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium thioethoxide (0.54 g, 6.4 mmol) is added in portions to a solution of 1-(7-tert-butyl-3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-5-yl)-2-chloroethan-1-one (1.12 g, 4.0 mmol) in 30 mL of methanol at room temperature. The reaction is stirred for 2.5 h, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in ether, washed with water and with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give 1.12 g of the crude product. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel (5% ethyl acetate-hexane) afforded 0.72 g of the title compound as a light yellow oil.
