Procedure

To 6-phenylhex-1-yl methylsulfonate (4.55 g; 17.3 mmol) dissolved in acetone (100 ml) is added sodium iodide (2.5 g; 173 mmol) and the reaction mixture is heated 2 hours at reflux. The reaction mixture is then concentrated to dryness and partitioned between ether and water. The organic phase is separated, dried, concentrated to dryness and purified with silica chromatography using 10 EtOAc/90 petroleum ether to give 6-phenyl-1-hexyl iodide as a colorless oil which is used directly in Step F.
