Morpholine → 4-[(4-Iodophenyl)carbonyl]morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of morpholine (653 mg, 7.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 ml) was cooled in an ice/methanol bath and then treated with stirring under argon with triethylamine (7.5 mmol, 1.05 ml) followed by the portionwise addition of 4-iodobenzoyl chloride (2.0 g, 7.5 mmol). The reaction mix was allowed to stir at room temperature for 0.5 h before the solution was washed with water (2×20 ml). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a yellow solid (2.4 g, 100%).
