Reaction Steps

The procedure is as in Example 29 for the preparation of ethyl (4-methylbenzylthio)acetate, starting with iodoethane (10.5 g), a 2M ethanolic solution of sodium ethylate (37 cc) and ethyl 2-mercaptoacetate (8.1 g) in ethanol (100 cc). Ethyl (ethylthio)acetate (6.9 g) is thereby obtained, and is used in the crude state in the subsequent syntheses.
