Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.4 gm of 3,5-di-t-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone in 20 ml of ether was added a solution of 1.25 g of 2-aminothiophenol in 5 ml of ether. After stirring for 1 hour at 25°, the reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using 2% ethyl acetate in benzene as eluent. There was thus obtained 860 mg of the title compound as dark blue plates, m.p. 137°-141°.
