1-methoxy-4-(phenylsulfanylmethyl)benzene

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The reaction of Example 1 is repeated with 0.13 m of p-methoxybenzyl phenyl sulfide and N-bromosuccinimide to give N-[α-(phenylthio)-p-methoxybenzyl]-phthalimide and, then, the N-(α-chloro-p-methoxybenzyl)phthalimide using sulfuryl chloride. The p-methyl and p-nitro congeners are prepared similarly. The reaction of Example 1
