Reaction Steps

trans-2-(3-Methoxy-4-methylsulfoxyethoxy-5-iodophenyl)-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)tetrahydrofuran (2.5 g, 4.11 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL ethanol. To this solution was added 4-chlorothiophenol (1.19 g, 8.22 mmol) and triethylamine (0.831 g, 8.22 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 hours and then the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, 3:1 hexane/ethyl acetate)(2.35 g, 87%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 1.97 (m, 2H); 2.45 (m, 2H); 3.35 (t, 2H); 3.82 (s, 3H); 3.84 (s, 3H); 3.88 (s, 6H); 4.11 (t, 2H); 5.17 (m, 2H); 6.61 (s, 2H); 6.92 (s, 1H); 7.26 (d, 2H); 7.33 (d, 2H); 7.35 (s, 1H).
