Reaction Steps

The procedure is as in Example 29 for the preparation of ethyl (4-methylbenzylthio)acetate, starting with 2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl chloride (10.25 g), a 2M ethanolic solution of sodium ethylate (32.5 cc) and ethyl 2-mercaptoacetate (7.1 g) in ethanol (150 cc). Ethyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzylthio)acetate (11 g) is thereby obtained, and is used in the crude state in the subsequent syntheses.
