Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(4,5-dichloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (12 g, 59 mmol) in acetic acid (70 mL) was treated with N-iodosuccinimide (16 g, 71 mmol) and stirred at 90° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was treated with additional N-iodosuccinimide (8 g, 36 mmol) and stirred at 90° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with EtOAc, and quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate until the bubbling stopped. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous phase was re-extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried and concentrated to give a brown solid. This material was recrystallized from methanol to give desired product (9.0 g, 46%) as a tan solid. LCMS for C8H6Cl2IO2 (M+H)+: m/z=330.9, 332.9. Found: 330.8, 332.9.
