Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1-(6-amino-3,3-dimethylindolin-1-yl)ethanone (2.000 g, 9.791 mmol) in concentrated hydrochloric acid (20.00 ml, 548.5 mmol) at 0° was added ice (15 g) followed by a solution of sodium nitrite (0.7769 g, 11.26 mmol) in water (15 mL). After 45 min, a solution of potassium iodide (3.251 g, 19.58 mmol) in water (15 mL) was added dropwise. After 5 min, the mixture was allowed to warm to RT. After 1 hr, CH2Cl2 (ca. 100 mL) and water (ca. 25 mL) were added. The aqueous fraction was extracted 2× with CH2Cl2. The combined organic fractions were washed with saturated NaHCO3 followed by 10% NaS2O3 and brine. After drying with Na2SO4, the deep red solution was concentrated in vacuo and purified by silica gel chromatography using 10-60% hexanes:EtOAc to afford 1-(6-iodo-3,3-dimethylindolin-1-yl)ethanone as an orange oil that solidified upon standing. M+H+=316.0.
