Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-iodo-2-isopropoxyphenyl acetate (10 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) and THF (15 mL), LiOH (1.0 M, 15 mL) was added at 0° C. After the mixture was stirred at rt for 3.0 h, 5% citric acid (30 mL) and diethyl ether (150 mL) was added. The organic extract was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to give 5-iodo-2-isopropoxyphenol (2.3 g) as an oil.
