Reaction Steps

(±)(1R*, 2S*, 3S*, 5S*)-3-(Acetoxymethyl)-5-(5,6-dichloro-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-1,2-cyclopentanediyl diacetate (500 mg, 1.13 mmol) was dissolved in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL) and heated to 95°-105° C. N-Iodosuccinimide (534 mg, 2.3 mmol as 95%) was added in portions over 5.5 hours. Volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue chromatographed on silica gel. Elution with 10% ethyl acetate-hexanes followed by solidification from ethanol-water gave (±)(1R*, 2S* 3S*, 5S*)-3-(acetoxymethyl)-5-(5,6-dichloro-2-iodo-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-1,2-cyclopentanediyl diacetate as a white powder (255 mg, 40%), m.p.152.5°-153° C.; 1H-NMR(DMSO-d6)δ: 8.32 and 7.94 (both s, 2, 2 aromatic CH), 5.8-5.7 (m, 1, OCH), 5.4-5.3(m, 1, OCH), 5.2-5.0 (m, 1, NCH), 4.35-4.2 (m, 2, OCH2), 2.7-2.6 (m, 1, CH), 2.35-2.25 (m, 2, CH2), 2.11, 2.08, and 1.93 (all s, 3 each, 3 CH3); mass spectrum(CI) 569 (M +1).
