Participants

Reaction Steps

A 5 g quantity of methyl iodide was added to 3.34 g of 2-{4-(2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropoxy)phenoxy}ethyl methyl sulfide and 5 ml of acetonitrile. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol-ether, giving 4.45 g of 2-{4-(2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropoxy)phenoxy}ethyldimethylsulfonium iodide in 93.5% yield, M.P. 112° to 112.8° C.
