1-Dodecanethiol → 1-(Chlorosulfanyl)dodecane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of dodecane thiol (1.00 mL, 4.17 mmol, Aldrich Chemical Company) in 20 mL CHCl3 was added sulfuryl chloride (0.74 mL, 9.18 mmol, Aldrich Chemical Company), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. Removal of solvent (aspirator), afforded dodecansulfenyl chloride that was determined to be sufficiently pure by 1H NMR.
