p-Toluenesulfonic acid → 2-(2,3-Dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-1-morpholinoethanethione

Participants

Reaction Steps

Morpholine (1.5 ml), 2,3-dihydro-5-acetylbenzofuran (2.0 g), sulfur (0.395 g) and p-toluene sulfonic acid (0.060 g) were heated at reflux. After 3 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled and 6 ml of methanol added. This solution was further cooled which precipitated the morpholide. The precipitate was filtered and washed with cold methanol to give 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-ylthioacetic acid morpholide, m.p.--144°-147° C.
