Yield:1438-91-1 15.0 g (34%)

Reaction Conditions:

with potassium hydroxide in water

Steps:

1 Preparation of 2-methylthiomethyl furan
Preparation of 2-methylthiomethyl furan Finely powdered potassium hydroxide (19.97 g, 0.355 mole) was added portionwise to a cold mixture of furfuryl mercaptan (40.0 g, 0.350 mole) and iodomethane (49.72 g, 0.350 mole). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 6 hours and 36 mL of water were added. The solution was extracted with ether (3*300 mL) and the combined organic fractions were dried over anhydrous sodium carbonate. After the removal of the solvent, the residue was distilled under reduced pressure to give 15.0 g (34%) colorless product, bp 61° C. (20 mm Hg), n_D =1.5210.
