Procedure

Thiophenol (440 mg, 4 mmol) and Et3N (70 μl, 0.5 mmol) were dissolved in CH2Cl2 (5 ml). Methyl acrylate (412 mg, 4.8 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction was exothermic. After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, the excess methyl acrylate was removed in vacuo. TLC: silica gel, Et2O-hexane 1:2, UV Rf =0.58. The crude title ester was used without further purification.
