Sodium Iodide → HCID 53904459, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 0.503 g (12.5 mmol) of a 60% oil dispersion of sodium hydride in 20 mL of DMF was added 2.0 g (11.4 mmol) of the product of Step C and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 25 minutes, 2.92 g (12.5 mmol) of 4-benzyloxybenzyl chloride and a catalytic amount of sodium iodide were added and the reaction was stirred for an additional 4 hours. The reaction mixture was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The residual oil was purified on a silica gel flash chromatography column eluted with 30% ethyl acetate/hexane to afford 3.33 g (79%) of the title compound.
