Butyl phenyl ether → p-(n-butyloxy)phenylthionophosphine Sulfide

Participants

Reaction Steps

n-Butyloxybenzene (Ic) and P4S10 (in a molar ratio of 10:1) were stirred for six hours at 150° C. under anhydrous conditions. The mixture was cooled, hexane was added, and the reaction flask was left for two days at 5° C. The resulting precipitate was recovered by filtration, washed with anhydrous hexane and dried. The yield of product was 37% of theory; after recrystallization from chloroform/petroleum ether it melted at 142°-4° C. Its solubility in tetrahydrofuran was found to be 5 gms/100 ml at room temperature.
