Reaktionsschritte

To a stirred solution of iodine (137.95 g, 0.5436 mmol) in fuming sulfuric acid (250 ml) was added m-nitrobenzoic acid (64.6 g, 0.3866 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was slowly heated to 85° C. overs 2 hours and stirred at the same temperature for another 12 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into ice, and the aqueous solution was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase was separated and washed with water, 2.0 M solution of Na2S2O3 and brine, and then dried over Na2SO4. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure to yield 3-iodo-5-nitrobenzoic acid as slight yellow solid 111 g, yield 98%. MS (M+H)=294.
