Potassium Iodide → HCID 20227255, compound

Chloroacetone (3.8 g, 3.3 ml, 41 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 3-bromo-4-fluoro-2-hydroxy-1-nitrobenzene (4.3 g, 18.2 mmol) in acetone (54 ml) with stirring at ambient temperature. Potassium carbonate (5.8 g, 42 mmol) and potassium iodide (6.0 g, 36.4 mmol), were added and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, poured onto water (100 ml), and extracted three times with ethyl acetate (150 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, treated with decolorizing charcoal and filtered through diatomaceous earth. Solvent was removed in vacuo to afford a dark brown oil.
