Reaction Steps

17.4 g (0.076 mol) of 3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6-methoxybenzenesulfinic acid are suspended in 120 ml of acetone, and 13.3 ml (0.095 mol) of triethylamine and 8.5 ml (0.12 mol) of iodomethane are added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then poured onto ice-water. The precipitate which separates out is filtered off with suction and recrystallized from N-butanol.
