Procedure
Polyphosphoric acid (7 g) was added to a solution of 1-(4-bromo-phenylsulfanyl)-propan-2-one (I-24a: 2.0 g, 8.163 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) and the resulting mixture was heated to 100° C. for 5 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (100% hexane). The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, quenched with ice, basified with potassium carbonate (pH˜8) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was concentrated to yield the crude product. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (100% hexane) afforded 1.2 g of product (66% yield)
