Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

30.6 Parts of cyclopropyl (4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)methanone were added portionwise to 450 parts of hydroiodic acid solution 50%. The whole was heated to reflux and stirring was continued for 1.50 hours at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. The precipitated product was filtered off and dissolved in 300 parts of trichloromethane. The solution was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in 210 parts of petroleumether while heating. The solution was treated twice with activated charcoal and the latter was filtered off each time. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue was suspended in 35 parts of petroleumether. After cooling to 0° C., the product was filtered off and dried, yielding 36.4 parts (70%) of 1-(4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-iodo-1-butanone; mp. 41.4° C. (intermediate 89).
