Isopropyl iodide → HCID 21427681, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N NaOEt in ethanol (50 ml.), was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2,5-dimethylcyclohexyl mercaptan (4.5 g.) and isopropyl iodide (6 g.) in ethanol (15 ml.). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and refluxed for 1 hour. The ethanol was removed in a rotary evaporator and 2N HCl added to the residue. This was extracted twice with ether and the combined extracts dried (MgSO4). Removal of the ether left a yellow oil (6 g.) which g.l.c. indicated to be almost pure 2,5-dimethylcyclohexyl isopropyl sulphide.
