Sodium Thiosulfate → 4,3'-Bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5'-iodo-[2,2']-bithiophene

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a mixed solvent of chloroform and acetic acid at 1:1, 0.0877 g (0.2 mmols) of 4,3′-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-[2,2′]-bithiophene was dissolved, to which 0.2250 g (1.0 mmol) of commercially available N-iodosuccinimide was added at room temperature. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours. After the reaction, a sodium thiosulfate aqueous solution was added, followed by extraction with chloroform. The organic phase was washed with a 0.2 N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distilling off under reduced pressure, and the resulting crude product was purified with a PTLC plate (developed with ethyl acetate:hexane=2:1) to obtain the specified substance in the form of a yellow solid at a yield of 0.0880 g (yield: 78%). The thus obtained product was used as it is for reaction in Example 12(12).
