Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

22.3 gm of sodium phenyl sulfinate, 2.2 gm of potassium carbonate and 0.2 gm of sodium iodide were introduced into 50 cc of methanol. Then 23.6 gm of 1-bromo-2-cyclopentylidene-ethane were added at a temperature of about +10° C and under agitation and the reaction mixture was agitated for 2 hours at 20° C. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water and cooled to 0° C. The precipitate formed was isolated by vacuum filtering and dried under vacuum in the presence of potassium hydroxide to obtain 15 gm of (2-cyclopentylidene-ethyl)-phenyl sulfone having a melting point of 68° C. A sample of the product crystallized from isopropyl ether had a melting point of 68° C.
