Sodium Iodide → 1-Iodoethyl isopropyl carbonate

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium iodide (20.69 g, 138.0 mmol) was added to the crude solution of chloroethyl isopropyl carbonate (5.11 g, 30.67 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 mL). The resulting mixture was heated to 60° C. for 2 hours and then allowed to cool to 25° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting mixture was treated with diethyl ether. The solids were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 1-iodoethyl isopropyl carbonate as a dark orange oil (5.43 g, 69% yield).
