Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 200-ml methylene solution of 4,4-dimethylhomophthalimide (33.5 g) and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethyl sulfenyl chloride (42.2 g) at 0° C. was added dropwise 18.2 g triethylamine over 5 minutes. The mixture was stirred for 4 hours, washed with 200 ml water and dried (MgSO4).
