Ethanol → HCID 117899715, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 100 ml of ethanol were added 2.0 g (6.1 mmol) of 5-chloropentyl-{4-methyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylthio)phenyl}ether, 4.0 g (41 mmol) of potassium thiocyanate and 0.10 g (0.61 mmol) of potassium iodide. The mixture was refluxed for 10 hours under heating and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. To the residue was added ethyl acetate to conduct extraction. The organic phase obtained was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent: a mixed solvent of n-hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1), to obtain 1.8 g (yield: 84%) of an intended product.
