Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 11.9 g of 2-(hydroxymethyl)thiophenol, 35.44 g of 1-bromo-3-chloropropane, 11.58 g of potassium carbonate and 150 ml of dimethylformamide is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Insoluble materials are filtered off, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to remove solvent. Water is added to the residue, and the aqueous mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract is washed with water, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove solvent. The residue is distilled under reduced pressure. 16.8 g of 2-(3-chloropropylthio)benzylalcohol are obtained as colorless oil. Yield: 93%.
