HCID 15747197, compound → bis(4-methylsulfanylphenyl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of bis-(4-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-methanol from Step 1 (1.0 g, 3.6 mmol) and MnO2 (3 g, 35 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was stirred at 21° C. for 18 h. The resulting mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate, 85:15) provided the bis-(4-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-methanone compound.
