Potassium Phosphate, Tribasic → 4-iodo-2H,3H-furo(2,3-b)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium phosphate (10.0 g, 47.1 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-(2-fluoro-4-iodopyridin-3-yl)ethanol (3.13 g, 11.7 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (100 mL). The mixture was heated under reflux for 36 h. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with EtOAc. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in DCM (100 mL), washed with brine (2×100 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced. The resulting residue (2.55 g) containing the sub-title compound was used in the next step directly without further purification. LCMS calc. for C7H7INO (M+H)+: m/z=247.9. found 248.0.
