Reaction Steps

Benzenethiol is reacted with 1,3-dioxolan-2-one to form 2-(phenylthio)ethanol. The 2-(phenylthio)ethanol is isolated and then converted to 2-(phenylthio)ethanethiol using triphenylphosphine, diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD), and thiolacetic acid followed by hydrolysis of the resulting acetate with potassium hydoxide in methanol.
