Reaction Steps

Dissolve 1-chloromethyl-2-vinyl-benzene (4.0 g, 26 mmol) in acetone (100 mL) and add sodium iodide (4.5 g, 30 mmol). Heat at gentle reflux for 30 minutes. Cool, add water (150 mL) and extract with pentane (200 mL). Dry (MgSO4) and evaporate the solvent in vacuo to give 1-iodomethyl-2-vinyl-benzene (95%).
