Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into the same reactor as in Example 1 were charged 0.10 g of palladium acetate, 0.40 g of 2-methyl-2′-methylsulfinylbenzanilide, 0.33 g of 1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin and 5 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide. The mixture thus obtained was stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered with Celite, and the filtrate was poured into saturated aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 0.1N-aqueous hydrochloric acid and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The concentrate thus obtained was purified by silica gel dry column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/2). Thus, 0.43 g (yield 72%) of 2-iodo-6-methyl-2′-methylsulfinylbenzanilide was obtained. Regioselectivity of iodination into the 2-position was 100%.
