Participants

Conditions

Temperature: 70 °C

Procedure

To 30.7 mmol 2-Iodo-5-methanesulfonyl-benzoic acid in 250 ml THF was added 33.7 mmol CDI and the mixture was heated at 70° C. for 1 h. Methanol (12.4 ml) was then added and the mixture was heated at 70° C. for a further 1 h. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed over SiO2 (ethyl acetate/dichloromethane 4:1) to afford the title compound (86%) as a white crystalline solid.
