Trityl chloride → 3-[(Triphenylmethyl)sulfanyl]propanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Mercaptopropionic acid 12 (3.14 g) was dissolved in 50 ml of methylene chloride. Triphenylmethylchloride 13 (8.36 g) was added to that, and 19-hour reactions were carried out at room temperature. The precipitate generated through the reactions was gathered by filtration, and the solid components obtained here were dried under reduced pressure, to form 9.86 g of 3-(tritylthio)propionic acid 14, which is a white solid.
