After 15 min. 1,5-diiodopentane (174 g, 0.54 mol) was added slowly and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. After stirring for 16 h. saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (1 L) and EtOAc (1 L) were added. After 15 min. the layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted EtOAc (×2). The combined organic layers were extracted with hydrochloric acid (1N), then washed with brine (500 cm3), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to obtain an oil. The oil was triturated with hexane (200 cm3) and benzene (20 cm3). The precipitate was collected and dried in vacuo to obtain the subtitled compound (26.3 g, 69.6%) as colorless crystals: mp 110–114° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 1.67 (m, 10H), 6.84 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz) 6.94 (t, 1H, J=8 Hz), 7.17 (t, 1H, J=8 Hz), 7.44 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 10.3 (s, 1H).
