Sodium Iodide → HCID 10479059, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2-tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-isopropylpropyl)-2-chloroacetamide (15.56 g) was added to a solution of NaI (19.3 g) in acetone (130 mL). The mixture was stirred overnight and the yellow reaction mixture was diluted with water (180 mL). The resulting precipitate was filtered; washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate; and dried under vacuum at 40° C. overnight. After spectral data indicated the presence of starting material, the product was subjected to another iteration of the above reaction conditions. The subsequent work-up was identical except that no sodium thiosulfate wash was performed. Purification by chromatography, eluting with hexane:ethyl acetate (gradient, 80:20 and 50:50), and drying under vacuum afforded N-(2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-isopropylpropyl)-2-iodoacetamide (17.91 g); TLC: Rf =0.30, hexane:ethyl acetate (9:1); MS: m/z=454(M+1).
