Dimethylformamide → m-Bromophenyl 3-methyl-2-butenyl sulfide

Participants

Reaction Steps

25.00 g (132.0 mmol) of 3-bromothiophenol, 200 ml of DMF and 18.23 g (138.0 mmol) of potassium carbonate are introduced into a three-necked flask. 18.0 ml (157.0 mmol) of 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene are added dropwise and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for five hours. The reaction medium is poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase is separated out after settling has taken place, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. 33.00 g (97%) of the expected compound are collected in the form of a yellow oil.
