“…13 C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO- d 6 ) δ ppm 41.9 (2C, N(CH 3 ) 2 ), 113.7 (1C, Ph), 114.7 (1C, Ph), 117.6 (1C, Ph), 120.1 (1C, Ph), 141.6 (1C, Ph), 142.3 (1C, Ph), 171.5 (1C, CO). According to a literature report, KOH (0.24 g, 4.3 mmol) was suspended in EtOH (10 mL) and the suspension was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h to dissolve the KOH. Then, CS 2 (0.26 mL, 4.3 mmol) was added to the stirred solution and the resulting mixture was stirred for another 0.5 h to produce a yellow suspension.…”
