Procedure

15.51 g (116 mmol) of N-chlorosuccinimide were added over a period of 20 minutes to a solution of 11.2 g (82.9 mmol) of 2-isopropylaniline and 7.22 g (116 mmol) of dimethyl sulfide in 200 ml of methylene chloride, whilst maintaining the internal temperature at between 15° and 20° C. After 15 minutes, 11.73 g (116 mmol) of triethylamine were added to the mixture, which was then heated under reflux for 9 hours. At the end of this time, the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was mixed with diethyl ether and insoluble materials which appeared were filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the concentrate was purified by column chromatography through 300 g of silica gel, using a gradient elution method, with mixtures of hexane and methylene chloride ranging from 4:1 to 0:1 as the eluent, to give 10.45 g (yield 65%) of the title sulfide derivative as an oil.
