Reaction Steps

7-Iodo-5-nitro-1-benzofuran (2.5 g, 8.6 mmol) and iron (2.51 g, 45.0 mmol) were added to a round bottom flask. Methanol (25 mL), 1,4-dioxane (25 mL) and ammonium chloride (2.5 g, 46.7 mmol), dissolved in water (50 mL), were added and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and volatiles were evaporated off. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of methanol (10 mL) and DCM (90 mL). This mixture was filtered through a silica plug and the solvent was evaporated yielding 2.22 g (99%) of the title compound as a brown oil. HPLC purity 70%, RT=1.26 min (System A; 10-97% MeCN over 3 min). MS (ESI+) for C8H6INO m/z is 260 (M+H)+.
