반응 단계

To a mixture of 20.0 grams (178 mmol, 1 eq) of chlorobenzene in 30 mL of acetic anhydride and 19.0 grams (88.8 mmol, 0.5 eq) of potassium iodate cooled to 0° C. was added 26.7 grams (15.7 mL, 178 mmol, 1.0 eq) of triflic acid at such a rate that the reaction temperature did not exceed 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature slowly and stirred for 14 hours. Approximately 45 mL of water was added to the reaction mixture at 0°-20° C. followed by methylene chloride. The precipitate dissolved in the methylene chloride and the organic phase was washed with water, aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and water, and concentrated in vacuo. This material was recrystallized from a mixture of 20 mL of isopropanol and 35 mL of hexane to give 7.62 grams (8.6% yield). A second crop was obtained from the mother liquor, 2.5 grams (total yield 11.4%). The product contains less than 7% of the isomeric 2-chlorophenyl-4-chlorophenyliodonium triflate and a small amount of uncharacterized impurity.
