Reaction Steps

11-Iodo undecanoic acid was synthesized according to Bergbreiter, J. Org. Chem., 40 (6), (1975) 779-782. Briefly, 250 g 11-Bromo undecanoic acid, 325 g Sodium iodide and 2 liter acetone were refluxed under N2 atmosphere for 24 hours. The mixture was divided and added to 4 liter H2O each. The mixtures were fritted and the crude product recrystallized from methanol and finally characterized by the melting point.
