Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-[1-[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4hydroxyphenyl]ethylidene]-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (1.6 g, 4 mmoles), iodomethane (0.45 mL, 7 mmoles), and diisopropylethylamine (1.1 mL, 6 mmoles) in 20 mL of ethanol is stirred under N2 at room temperature for 16 hours, then stirred into 200 mL of water. The precipitate is filtered off, rinsed with water, and dried to afford the product (1.4 g) of 5-[1-[3,5bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-ethylidene]-2-(methylthio)-4(5H)-thiazolone, mp 206°-209° C. A sample recrystallized from acetonitrile was analytically pure, mp 224°-226° C.
