HCID 20271275Methyl phenyl(4-pyridylmethylthio)acetate

Procedure

Sodium phenyl-(4-picolylthio)acetate was dissolved in methanol and dry hydrogen chloride added slowly so as to maintain gentle reflux for 1 hour. After cooling and stirring for approximately 16 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated to yield methyl phenyl(4-pyridylmethylthio)acetate (11.6 g.; oil; ms, calcd.: m/e 273; found: 273, 214, 150, 136, 124, 121, 105, 77, 65).
