2-Bromoethanol → 2-(3-Bromo-phenylsulfanyl)-ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Alkylation of 3-bromobenzenethiol with 2-bromoethanol according to the method used in Example 18, gave 2-(3-bromophenylthio)ethanol (125) as a yellow oil without purification. Yield (3.6 g, 97%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.49 (t, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.31 (ddd, J=0.8, 1.6, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.27 (ddd, J=0.8, 1.6, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.13 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 3.75 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 3.10 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 2.18 (brs, 1H).
