Formaldehyde → 2-Hydroxy-4-iodobenzaldehyde

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 3-iodophenol (3.00 g, 13.6 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 mL) was added magnesium chloride (3.89 g, 40.9 mmol), triethylamine (7.6 mL, 55 mmol), and paraformaldehyde (1.64 g, 55 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed overnight, then neutralized with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The resultant red precipitate was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The precipitate was dissolved in methanol and added to the combined organic extracts, which were then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to provide an orange solid (5.4 g) as the crude product. This material was used in the subsequent step without further purification.
