Iodine chloride → HCID 86723847, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-3-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)pyrimidin-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (prepared in Reference Example 102) (1.3 g) in chloroform (20.0 ml) was added iodine chloride (12.4 ml, 1M dichloromethane solution) and the resulting mixture was stirred for two hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford (R)-3-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-iodo-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)pyrimidin-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (1.4 g).
