Sodium Iodide → HCID 54218747, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thus obtained 8.76 g (27.9 mmol) of 2-(2, 3-methylenedioxyphenyl)heptyl methanesulfonate was dissolved in 70 ml of methyl ethyl ketone, and the solution was mixed with 6.6 g of sodium iodide. The resultant mixture was refluxed under heating for 10 hours. After cooling, the precipitated salt was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column (eluent; ethyl acetate/hexane=1/20) to give 8.36 g of 2-(2, 3-methylenedioxyphenyl)heptyl iodide as an oil.
