Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to example 81.1, 4.34 g (0.030 mol) of 3-chloro-benzenethiol in 50 mL of DMF at 0° C. were treated with 1.32 g (0.033 mol, 1.1 eq) of NaH (55% in oil) over 45 min. 4.82 g (0.032 g, 1.05 eq) of bromo-acetic acid ethyl ester were added, and stirring was continued for 2 hours. Workup and purification gave 5.9 g (91%) of (3-chloro-phenylsulfanyl)-acetic acid methyl ester as a colorless oil.
