Procedure

To a mixture of 4-iodo-2-nitrotoluene (9.0 g, 34 mmol) in H2O (340 mL) was added KMnO4 (22.0 g, 139 mmol). The mixture was heated at reflux for 5 h and then cooled to rt and filtered through Celite®. The filtrate was acidified to pH=2 with conc. HCl. The precipitate that formed and was filtered and dried to give 4-iodo-2-nitrobenzoic acid (2.0 g, 20%). The filtrate was extracted with DCM (3×200 mL). The organic solutions were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to provide a second lot of 4-iodo-2-nitrobenzoic acid (0.18 g, 2%).
