Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-3′-fluorobiphenyl-4-ol (Preparation 69, 500 mg, 2.25 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (5 mL) and acetic acid (5 mL). Concentrated sulfuric acid (0.05 mL) was added followed by N-iodosuccinimide (480 mg, 2.13 mmol) and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. A further portion of N-iodosuccinimide (50 mg, 0.22 mmol) was added and stirring continued at room temperature for 3 hours. Water and dichloromethane were added and the two layers separated. The organic layer was washed twice with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (20% ethyl acetate in heptane) to afford the title compound (496 mg, 63%) as a yellow oil that solidified on standing.
