2-Bromo-1-(4-iodophenyl)ethanone → HCID 8220607, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500 ml round-bottomed flask is charged with 66 g of 2-bromo-1-(4-iodophenyl)ethanone in 140 ml of DMF and 38 g of potassium phthalimide. The mixture is stirred at RT for 4 h and the precipitate formed is filtered off on a glass frit and washed with 3 times 50 ml of isopropyl ether. Drying under RP gives 80 g of 2-[2-(4-iodophenyl)-2-oxoethyl]isoindole-1,3-dione in the form of a white solid, which is used as it is in the following step. MS (E/I): m/z=391 (M+); 1H NMR: 5.21 (s, 2H); 7.84 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H); from 7.88 to 7.98 (m, 4H); 8.00 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H). m.p. (Kofler): 230° C.
