2-Chlorotoluene → O-(6,6-difluoro-5-methyl-5-hexenyl) benzo[b]thiophene-2-thiocarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5 ml of 2-chlorotoluene was dissolved 0.20 g (0.64 mmol) of 6,6-difluoro-5-methyl-5-hexenyl benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate, followed by the addition of 0.26 g (0.64 mmol) of Lawesson's reagent and stirring by heating under refluxing for 4 hours. To the reaction liquid were added 2 ml of isopropyl ether and 10 ml of hexane and precipitated solid was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (diisopropyl ether:hexane=1:30) to obtain 0.17 g (yield: 81%) of O-(6,6-difluoro-5-methyl-5-hexenyl) benzo[b]thiophene-2-thiocarboxylate.
