Iodoethane → 1-Bromo-3-(ethylsulfanyl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Iodoethane (0.46 mL, 0.0058 mol) was added to a suspension of 3-bromothiophenol (0.50 mL, 0.0048 mol), ACN (7.11 mL, 0.136 mol) and potassium carbonate (2.0 g, 0.014 mol). The reaction was stirred for 2 h at rt, was diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered to remove the solids. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo to give 1-bromo-3-(ethylthio)benzene as a colorless oil 1.0 gm, 100%
