We have established a facile protocol for the preparation of bis(4‐methoxyphenyl)methanethiol ( 4 ). Thiol 4 was used to prepare biotin thioester 7 which was later subjected to acidolysis to afford biotin thioacid ( 1b ) in high yield. Compound 1b represents a new biotinylating reagent worth exploring and its spectral data was reported for the first time.
