Benzoyl chloride → HCID 19108264, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2,6-diiodohydroquinone (0.2 g) in pyridine (10 mL) was added benzoyl chloride (0.140 mg) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Following solvent removal in vacuo, purification was achieved by extraction (equal volumes ethyl acetate (EtOAc):0.01N HCl), and preparative TLC (methylene chloride) of the concentrated (in vacuo) EtOAc phases. Both the desired monoester, 4-hydroxy-2,6-diiodophenyl benzoate (Rf 0.38) and the diester, 3,5-diiodo-4(phenylmethanoyloxy)phenyl benzoate (Rf 0.96), products were formed.
