Reaction Steps

To 35 mL of trimethyl phosphate (TMP) at 0° C. to 10° C. add 2-iodo-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol (6.61 g, 23.95 mmol, Preparation 42). To this solution add dropwise over the period of one minute sulfuryl chloride (2.0 mL, 24.67 mmol) in 35 mL of TMP, and then stir the resulting mixture for 30 minutes still at 0-10° C. To the reaction mixture add 130 mL of water, and then extract the resulting quenchate into CH2Cl2. Dry combined organic phases over anhydrous MgSO4, filter through silica gel, and concentrate filtrate. Purify residue by flash chromatography using 5% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give 3.79 g (51%) of 4-chloro-2-iodo-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol as a golden oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.58 (s, 1H), 7.05 (s, 1H), 5.21 (s, 1H), 1.43 (s, 9H). 13C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3) δ 153.73, 149.02, 139.63, 125.69, 114.23, 81.61, 77.32, 76.68, 36.03, 29.29.
