Table 2. Synthesis of Aromatic Thioesters.
Smaller amounts of 1-dodecanethiol (1.05 equiv) and iPrMgCl (1.05 equiv) were used.
1 equiv of iPrMgCl was added to deprotonate the N–H bond at 0 °C prior to the thioesterification.
1.5 equiv of iPrMgCl was added to deprotonate the O–H bond at 0 °C prior to the thioesterification at 60 °C.
