Benzyl mercaptan → 1-Benzylsulfanyl-3-bromo-2-trifluoromethyl-benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phenyl-methanethiol (4.g g, 37.0 mmol) was treated with commercially available 1-bromo-3-fluoro-2-trifluoromethyl-benzene (10.0 g, 41.1 mmol) in close analogy to the procedure described in step 5.3). The crude product (10.5 g) after workup was used as such in the next reaction step without purification by chromatography.
