Potassium Carbonate → HCID 14580169, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (4.6 g, 0.033 mole) is suspended in acetone (100 cc) and the whole is heated to 50°-60° C. An acetone (30 cc) solution of 2-chlorothiophenol (4.3 g, 0.03 mole) and of a mixture (9.1 g, 0.03 mole) containing 1-chloro-2-phenyl-2-propene (50%) and 1-chloro-2-phenyl-1-propene (50%) is added dropwise under nitrogen. After 1 h of stirring at 50°-60° C. the reaction mixture is poured into water and ice (150 g) and is then reextracted with ether (3×100 cc). It is washed with water (2×150 cc) and dried over MgSO4. The crude (11.7 g) is distilled in a ball oven to give 1-[2'-chlorophenylthio]-2-phenyl-2-propene (6.3 g, 80%) Bp0.5 =180° C. nD24 =1.6340.
