Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropanoate (1.45 g, 5.48 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (55 mL). Iodine (1.392 g, 5.48 mmol) and silver sulfate (1.710 g, 5.48 mmol) were added, and the reaction was stirred vigorously at room temperature, protected from light, for 1 hr. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was washed with sodium bisulfite (2×60 mL), water (70 mL), and brine (70 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with 0 to 50% ethyl acetate/hexanes to afford tert-butyl 3-(3-iodo-4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropanoate. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ 7.58 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.08 (dd, J=8.4, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 3.85 (s, 3H), 2.71 (s, 2H), 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.11 (s, 6H).
