Participants

Conditions

Temperature: 27.5 °C

Procedure

3,5-Bis(3,5-di-tertiary-butylbenzylthio)benzyl alcohol (49.0 g, 84.9 mmol) and carbon tetrabromide (28.2 g, 85.0 mmol) were dissolved in 300 ml of tetrahydrofuran. To this solution was added with stirring triphenylphosphin (23.5 g, 89.6 mmol), at the temperatures of 10° C. or below. The reaction mixture became clear once, and then colorless crystals separated gradually. After stirring overnight at 25-30° C., the crystals were removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue obtained was purified by means of chromatography with n-hexane:dichloromethane=1:1, giving 34.8 g of 3,5-bis(3,5-di-tertiary-butylbenzylthio)benzyl bromide.
