Reaction Steps

To a cooled (5°) solution of the above methyl 3-(hexylthio)-2-propenoate (0.84 g, 4.2 mmol) in 5 ml of hexane is added dropwise 10.7 ml (9.7 mmol) of a DIBAL solution (0.91 M/hexane). After addition is complete, the ice bath is removed. Aqueous methanol (3 ml MeOH:2 ml H2O) is added dropwise, followed by ether, and the reaction mixture is filtered, washed with ether and then stripped of solvent to give 3-hexylthio-2-propenol.
