Sodium Iodide → N-[4-(3-Iodo-1-propyloxy)phenyl]methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-[4-(3-chloro-1-propyloxy)phenyl]methanesulfonamide (1.03 g, 3.90 mmol) and sodium iodide (1.75 g, 11.70 mmol) in acetone (15 mL) was heated under reflux for 18 hours. The mixture was concentrated, taken up in EtOAc, and washed with brine, 10% aqueous sodium bisulfite, and brine. The organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give 1.34 g (96%) of product as an off-white solid m.p. 109°-111° C.
