Potassium Carbonate → HCID 58168556, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-mercaptobenzoic acid (3.4 g) in DMF (50 mL) was treated with potassium carbonate (3.18 g) and stirred for 5 minutes. A solution of ethyl 3-bromopropionate (2.8 mL) in DMF (10 mL) was added dropwise over 30 minutes and the resulting mixture was stirred for a further 30 minutes. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, and the phases separated. The aqueous phase was acidified with aqueous HCl and extracted further with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were washed with water, dried, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the subtitled compound. Yield 5.3 g.
