Reaction Steps

A chloroform (25 mL) solution of 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-methylcarbonyl-2,5-dihydrothiophene (2.49 g, 8.02 mmol, purity: 82%) was cooled to −43° C., and to this solution, a chloroform (50 mL) solution of sulfuryl chloride (0.77 mL, 1.1 equivalent amounts) was dropwise added over a period of 32 minutes, followed by stirring at −15° C. for 1 hour. The temperature of the solution was raised to 0° C., and water (5 mL) was dropwise added, followed by liquid separation. The obtained chloroform solution was sequentially washed with water, a saturated salt solution, a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, a saturated sodium thiosulfate aqueous solution and a saturated salt solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration, and the solvent was distilled off to give the desired product as a yellow solid (2.0 g, yield: 99%).
