1-Bromodecane → (4-Decyloxyphenyl)phenyliodonium tosylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 1 was repeated to prepare (4-decyloxyphenyl)phenyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate. 1-bromodecane was used and the yield of decyl phenyl ether was 98.9%. In accordance with Example 1, 196 grams (0.5 mol) of phenyliodoso tosylate, 117 grams (0.5 mol) of the decyl phenyl ether, 50 ml of acetic acid and 200 ml of dichloromethane were stirred at 40° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and a solution triturated with ether. The crystallized product was isolated by suction filtration and washed with ether and then dried under vacuum. There was obtained, 205.3 grams (67.5% yield of (4-decyloxyphenyl)phenyliodonium tosylate.
