2-Methylbenzoic acid → 2-Iodo-6-methylbenzoic acid

Temperatur

100 °C

To a solution of o-toluic acid (2.00 g, 14.7 mmol) in dry DMF (60 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added N-iodosuccinimide (3.64 g, 16.2 mmol) followed by Pd(OAc)2 (0.330 g, 1.47 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. and stirred for 17 hours. Upon cooling to room temperature the reaction was diluted with water (100 mL) and EtOAc (150 mL), the layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL), the combined organics were washed with water (100 mL), brine (100 mL), water (100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (I57) (3.56 g, 92% yield) as a brown oily solid; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.69 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.21 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 2.44 (s, 3H).
