Thiophenol → ethyl 6-methyl-8-[(phenylthio)methyl]-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The polymer bound triphenylphosphine (1.2 g, 3.6 mmole) was suspended in anhydrous THF (10 mL) and the mixture was allowed to stir for 15 minutes. The ethyl 8-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate prepared as in Example 605b, Step 1 (0.38 g, 1.20 mmole), benzenethiol (0.20 g, 1.80 mmole) and DEAD (0.31 g, 1.80 mmole) were added to above mixture, which was allowed to stir for 18 hours. The resulting mixture was filtered through a plug of celite and condensed in vacuo to give a yellow oil (0.49 g, 98%). No further purification was performed. GCMS m/z 408.0 (M+).
