3-Iodobenzoic acid → 3-Iodobenzoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (2.66 mL, 30.4 mmol) was added dropwise to a suspension of 3-iodobenzoic acid (6.98 g, 27.6 mmol) in DCM (140 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The mixture was then stirred at rt for 4 h. After the reaction was complete, solvent was removed in vacuum to yield a residue (3-iodobenzoyl chloride), which was dried in high vacuum and used without further purification. This residue was dissolved in DCM (25 mL) and added slowly to a 0° C., stirred solution of 3,5-diisopropyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-amine (5.0 g, 19.73 mmol) and pyridine (2.71 ml, 33.5 mmol) in DCM (50 mL). The mixture was then warmed up and stirred at rt overnight. After the reaction was complete water was added. Aqueous mixture was extracted with DCM. The DCM layer was separated, washed with water (2×) and brine, and then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Filtration and evaporation gave an off-white solid which was recrystallized from 10% hexane in DCM to afford the title compound (5.3 g, 55%).
