Sodium Iodide → HCID 10988867, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Chloropentyl acetate (26.5 g, 0.16 mol) was added to a solution of sodium iodide (45 g, 0.30 mol) in dry acetone (200 ml). The resulting pale yellow solution was heated at reflux for 65 h, during which time a white solid separated (sodium chloride). The final mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered to remove the NaCl, which was washed with acetone and diethyl ether, then dried under vacuum at 50° C. Expected yield of NaCl=9.4 g; isolated yield=9.47 g (100%).
