ly stirred at 25ꢀC for 15 min. Then 1 cm3 H2O and 228 mg
CS2 (3mmol) were added at once. After 30min of stirring,
171 mg benzyl bromide (1mmol) was added to the blood-red
mixture. The color of the resulting reaction mixture changed
from red to light-yellow. Stirring was continued at 25ꢀC for
50min in air atmosphere. The progress of the reaction was
monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the or-
ganic materials were extracted with 3ꢂ15 cm3 Et2O. The
combined organic phases were washed with water and dried
(Na2SO4). The solvent was evaporated and the residue was
subjected to preparative TLC (silica gel, eluent: n-hexane=
CHCl3 ¼ 10=1) to afford 235 mg of the pure benzyl phenyl
trithiocarbonate (85%) as a pale-yellow oil. Spectroscopic
properties were found to be identical with that of an authentic
sample.
