Reaction Steps

1-Bromo-2-phenyl-3-phenylsulphonyl-2-propanol (1.3 g, 0.004 mole) is dissolved in acetone (30 cc). Sodium iodide (0.9 g, 0.006 mole) is added and heated under reflux for 15 h. The reaction mixture is poured into water (100 cc), reextracted with ether (3×50 cc), washed with a 15% strength NaHSO3 solution (50 cc) and then with water (50 cc) and is dried over MgSO4. The crystallized crude (0.9 g) is recrystallized from carbon tetrachloride to give yellow crystals of 1-iodo-2-phenyl-3-phenylsulphonyl-2-propanol (0.5 g, 31%). Mp=98° C.
