Sodium Iodide → HCID 90387091, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(3-bromophenyl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (9.00 g, 26.5 mmol), sodium iodide (7.95 g, 53.1 mmol), copper(I) iodide (1.516 g, 7.96 mmol), and dioxane (265 ml) were added into a 500 mL 3-necked flask. N1,N2-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine (2.092 ml, 13.26 mmol) was added. The mixture was degassed by bubbling nitrogen for 30 minutes and the reaction mixture was heated and refluxed overnight. After completion of the reaction, the heating was stopped and the mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite® and washed several times with DCM. The crude material was purified via column chromatography using hexane/DCM (80/20). The target 4-(3-iodophenyl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (9.33 g, 24.16 mmol, 91% yield) was afforded as a white solid.
