N-Iodosuccinimide → Methyl 4-bromo-2-iodophenylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

133 g (0.591 mol) N-iodosuccinimide and 5.0 mL (8.60 g, 0.0573 mol) trifuoromethanesulfonic acid were added to a solution of 130.0 g (0.5651 mol) of (4-bromo-phenyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester in 660 mL acetonitrile. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The precipitate was collected by filtration washed with 160 mL ice-cold acetonitrile and dried to constant weight to yield 187.0 g (92%) of the title compound as white crystals melting at 129.4-130.0° C.
