Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of cinnamoyl chloride (26.0 g, 156.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was added to a solution of thiophenol (22.6 g, 156.3 mmol) and pyridine (12.6 mL) in dichloromethane (200 mL) in an ice-water bath. After 18 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid (100 mL, 1N), brine (100 mL), dried (MgSO4) and was concentrated to afford 41.0 g (96%) of the desired thioester as a crystalline solid.
