N-Iodosuccinimide → Benzyl[3-(aminocarbonyl)-5-iodo-2-thienyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl[3-(aminocarbonyl)-2-thienyl]carbamate (4.39 g, 15.88 mmol) in dichloromethane (440 mL) was added N-iodosuccinimide (3.57 g, 15.88 mmol). An additional amount of N-iodosuccinimide (1.07 g) was added in 3 portions over the next 60 min to drive the reaction to completion. The dark reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (700 mL), hexanes (100 mL), aqueous sodium thiosulfate (1 M, 150 mL), and aqueous sodium hydroxide (1 M, 300 mL). The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (100 mL) and brine (150 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford the title compound as a solid.
