The reaction was filtered through Celite, washed with 5 mL of acetonitrile and the filtrate used without further purification. Potassium thiocyanate (0.7 g, 7.1 mmol) was added and the mixture heated to 50° C. for 10 minutes. Iodine (1.4 g, 5.4 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was continued to stir at 50° C. for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, 10 mL of acetonitrile was added, followed byt 10 mL of 20% Na2S2O5. The phases were separated and the organic phase was dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvent removed to provide the title compound. LC/MS m/z 326.3 (M+H)+. The product was used without further purification.
