Water → 2-Amino-5-iodoisophthalic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of iodine monochloride (0.9 g) in glacial AcOH (1.7 ml) was added dropwise over 15 minutes to a stirred solution of 2-aminoisophthalic acid (1 g) in glacial AcOH (6.9 ml) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours and then poured into water (70 ml). The resultant orange solid was isolated by filtration, washed with water, diluted with MeOH and concentrated to yield 2-amino-5-iodoisophthalic acid (1.48 g); Mass Spectrum: M+H+ 308.
