Reaktionsschritte

Hydrocinnamic acid is iodinated to form 4-iodohydrocinnamic acid. The process is performed by mixing 201.2 g hydrocinnamic acid, 1 L acetic acid, 152 mL water, 52.8 g periodic acid, 76 mL sulfuric acid, and 144 g iodine. The mixture is heated at 105° C. for 6.5 hours. Next, 200 mL water is added, and the mixture is cooled to room temperature overnight. The solid product in the resultant mixture is filtered and washed with water, yielding 350 g unpurified 4-iodohydrocinnamic acid. Further purification is not necessary and is not conducted, and the product is used as is in the second step.
