60. t3u (0.6 mmol) in 10 mL of DMF. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature, and used as the catalyst stock solution for catalytic reactions.
61. tBu (125 mg, 1.1 mmol), thiophenol (1.05 mmol), and 4-bromotoluene (1 mmol) were mixed with 3 mL of DMF in a reaction vial. The vial was capped, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 110°C for 16 h. Yields were measured by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) and isolation of pure product. Products were confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
