Iodine → HCID 178470493, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of Intermediate 74a (5.00 g, 35.7 mmol) in acetonitrile (90 mL) was treated with iodine (9.10 g, 35.7 mmol) then ceric ammonium nitrate (19.6 g, 35.7 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at RT overnight. Another portion of iodine (2.28 g, 9.0 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for a further 24 h then treated with ice-cold aqueous sodium hydrogensulphite solution (5%, 100 mL). The mixture was filtered through Celite rinsing with EtOAc and water. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting solid was triturated with ether/cyclohexane, filtered off, washed with cyclohexane and dried at 50° C. in vacuo to give the title compound (3.70 g, 39%). LCMS (Method 3): Rt 2.88 min, m/z 267 [MH+] (weak).
