Synthesis of Butyl Isopropyl Sulfide

Hi. I was wondering if someone can show me the synthesis of butyl isopropyl sulfide using 1-butanol, 2-propanol and any solvents/reagents.

 

I tried treating 1-butanol with SOCl2 to form chlorobutane and 2-propanol with SOCl2 as well.

 

I'm unclear onto how to get the sulfur connected to those 2 parts. I assume when that is accomplished, Mg in solvent can be used. Oxidizing agents like KMnO4 can be used and Zn(Hg), HCl as a reducing agent to remove the carbonyl at the end..

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!
