Reaction Steps

Dissolve 4-(3-chloropropoxy)benzoic acid, methyl ester (6.97g, 30.5mmol) in anhydrous acetone (100mL) and add powdered sodium iodide (16.0g, 107mmol). Heat at reflux under an argon atmosphere for 38 hours. Dilute with ethyl ether (100mL) and filter through Celite® filter aid. Wash the filtrate with water and brine, then dry (MgSO4). Evaporate the solvent in vacuo to give 4-(3-iodopropoxy)benzoic acid, methyl ester as a yellow oil.
