反応手順

To a reaction vessel were combined di(2-tolyl)amine (11.7 g, 59.3 mmol), elemental sulfur (3.9 g, 121.65 mmol, 2 eq.), crushed iodine (0.44 g, 1.73 mmol, 3 mol %) followed by o-dichlorobenzene (22 mL). Added an outlet to a dilute bleach solution (for hydrogen sulfide evolution) then put under argon. Refluxed at 180° C. for 4 h and removed solvent under reduced pressure. Purified by column chromatography with 2.0% ethyl acetate/98% hexane to obtain the desired product as white crystals (2 g, 8.8 mmol, 15% yield). Alternatively, the reaction was cooled to about 60° C. then hexane was added for extraction. Repeated hot hexane extractions of reaction until the product was no longer obtained in residue (about four times). Combined hexane extractions and concentrated in vacuo. Purified resulting residue either through repeated hot acetone/isopropanol crystallizations (or triturations) or flash column chromatography using 2% ethyl acetate/98% hexane to obtain product as white crystals (2.92 g, 12.8 mmol, 28% yield).
