Participants

Reaction Steps

30.3 g (0.22 mol) of potassium carbonate were added to 40.0 g (0.22 mol) of methyl 3-thio-2-methylbenzoate in 500 ml of acetone, and 82.6 g (0.22 mol) of 1,2-dibromoethane were added dropwise. After 10 hours of stirring at room temperature, the solvent was distilled off, the residue was taken up in water/ethyl acetate and the organic phase was dried and concentrated. The oil that remained was chromatographed over silica gel using ethyl acetate/cyclohexane=1/10.
