Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 67071307, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-ethoxy-3-(1-methoxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-benzene (5.15 g, 26.51 mmol) in acetonitrile (60 mL) were added N-iodosuccinimide (8.349 g, 37.11 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (1.02 mL, 13.26 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. It was then concentrated in vacuo and the residue was taken in ethyl acetate. After washing with saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, water and brine, the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solids were filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 9.39 g of 2-ethoxy-1-iodo-4-(1-methoxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-benzene as light brown oil.
