Peracetic Acid → HCID 18759331, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

There was added dropwise, 45.6 grams (0.24 mole) of 40% peracetic acid to 20.4 grams (0.1 mole) of iodobenzene while the temperature was maintained at less than 30° C. After the addition of the peracid, there was added to the resulting mixture 19.05 grams (0.1 mole) of p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate, 10.8 grams (0.1 mole) of anisole and 10 ml of glacial acetic acid. The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The 4-methoxyphenyliodonium tosylate was isolated from the reaction mixture by trituration with diethyl ether, filtering and further washing with diethyl ether. There was obtained 41.8 grams or an 86.7% yield of a product having a melting point of 163°-165° C. Based on method of preparation, the product was 4-methoxyphenyliodonium tosylate.
