Triethylamine → 4-(3-Ethoxy-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenylcarbamoylmethyl methyl sulfide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolved in 4 ml of dimethylformamide were 2.00 g of triethylamine and 2.11 g of 4-(3-ethoxy-2-hydroxypropoxy)aniline. To the solution was added 1.25 g of methylmercaptoacetyl chloride with ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with water and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a 1:5 ethanol-chloroform mixture, giving 2.85 g of 4-(3-ethoxy-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenylcarbamoylmethyl methyl sulfide in 95.3% yield.
