Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 4-chlorophenol in THF (75 mL), and H2O (75 mL) was added a mixture of crushed iodine (78.7 mmol, 20 g) and sodium bicarbonate (78.7 mmol, 6.6 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, then quenched with sufficient 5% sodium thiosulfate solution to turn the color of the reaction mixture from deep violet to light yellow and extracted with ether (2×200 mL). The ether layer was collected, washed with H2O, and the washed ether layer was dried, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to a crude product, which was purified by distillation to obtain 4-chloro-2-iodo phenol (7%, 1.3 g); mp 79° C.-82° C.
