Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring mixture of sodium ethoxide (13.32 g, 196 mmol) in ethanol (IL) in a 2 L RBF was added 4-chlorothiophenol (26.0 g, 179 mmol), followed by 2-bromo-1-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]ethanone (40 g, 163 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux until all solid dissolved, hot filtered through a fritted funnel, then allowed to cool slowly to room temperature, then to 0° C. in an ice bath. The title compound was isolated as pink needle-like crystals (43.9 g, 87%) by filtration. LCMS M+1=309.2.
