Iodoethane → 1-ethylsulfanyl-4-fluorobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-fluorobenzenethiol (10 g, 78 mmol) and iodoethane (7.57 mL, 94 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was treated with triethylamine (13.05 mL, 94 mmol) at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated, washed with hexane and dried under vacuum to provide the title compound (10.5 g, 81%).
