Reaction Steps

A 5 C mixture of 4(4-aminophenyl)butyric acid (1.0 eq) and aqueous 6N hydrochloric acid (5.44 eq) was treated with 1.05 eq of a 3N aqueous solution of sodium nitrite, adding slowly so as to keep the temperature below 5 C. A solution of 2.8N aqueous potassium iodide (1.01 eq) was added. The reaction was stirred overnight. The layers were separated. The organic phase was purified by flash chromatography using methanol/methylene chloride as eluant to give 4-(4-iodophenyl)butyric acid.
