Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of Example 2A (7.72 g, 31.26 mmol), sodium carbonate (3.31 g, 31.26 mmol) and benzyl mercaptan (3.90 mL, 30.21 mmol) in absolute ethanol (50 mL) was stirred at reflux for 6 hours, cooled to 25° C. and added to water (200 mL). The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give the title compound (10.71 g, 98%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.26 (d, J=9.19 Hz, 1 H), 7.36 (m, 10 H), 6.91 (d, J=2.57 Hz, 1 H), 6.78 (dd, J=9.19, 2.57 Hz, 1 H), 5.06 (s, 2 H), 4.12 (s, 2 H).
